Victory Races

Victory Races, presented by LifeSource, unfold on Victory Memorial Drive in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during MEA weekend in October. Race options include 5K, 10K, and the Doubleheader (both distances), plus a Kid’s Half Mile Victory Lap. The flat, fast course starts and ends at Webber Park in North Minneapolis; the 5K is out-and-back to a flagpole, and the 10K follows the same route with a halfway turn-around.

Both courses are USATF-certified. The event boasts a festive crowd, free shirts, and nonprofit fundraising through LifeSource. Awards include cash prizes for top finishers and Masters, with a Minnesota state-record bonus for MN residents. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
