Race Information
The Ron Daws 25K commemorates Ron Daws, a 1968 Olympic marathoner and one of the original 7 founders of Run Minnesota. Daws, a ’60s/’70s Minnesota running icon, trained over this same course. The race was renamed as a memorial to Daws in 1993.
The course runs over hilly terrain to the south and west of Hopkins. The race, begun in 1979, has proved to be a stiff challenge at a middle distance for those training for Boston or other spring marathons or who are otherwise looking for a testing workout.
