About this run
This year there's two great ways to enjoy the annual Snowflake Shuffle 5K! About the race: Fast and fun certified course that meanders through St. Joseph, starting and finishing on the campus of the College of Saint Benedict. Or, if you'd rather, a virtual 5K that you can run wherever you are! All the fun stuff: Snowflake Shuffle provides one of the coolest long-sleeved race t-shirts in central Minnesota to each finisher. (Technical T-shirts!) If you're running in person, you can pick up your shirt the day of the race. If you're competing virtually, be sure to email Robin your time and a selfie after you finish! (See the link on the registration page.) Plus, once you register, you're eligible for some pretty cool prizes, which will be drawn the day of the race! Throw on your best Christmas gear, have someone make some hot chocolate for the finish, and start running! Awards: Prizes for the first overall men and women plus age group awards to: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and over
