Run Pick of the Month - Stillwater Half Marathon

This small town race takes you along the beautiful Gateway Trail and through the streets of scenic Stillwater, Minnesota on May 25, 2024.

Why do we like the location? Stillwater has been named one of the most picturesque small towns in America, its trail system is among the best in the Midwest, and USA Today named it a Top 10 Small Town Food Scene in the country.

The Stillwater Half features a half marathon (no surprise there!), a 10K and 5K. Historically around 2,000 runners participate in this race
