Partner event: Mightyssippi 10-Mile Run

FMR is proud to be a charity partner for a new 10-mile race, Mightyssippi, along the Mississippi River in St. Paul this spring.

Participants will set off on Mississippi River Boulevard in Highland Park, running alongside the river we work hard to protect. Around mile 5, you’ll enter Crosby Farm Regional Park, the site of an ongoing FMR restoration and an excellent example of community-driven renewal.

This course winds through towering trees, along tranquil lakes and beneath scenic bridges, culminating at Upper Landing Park. Each step is a testament to the river’s enduring beauty and the vibrant life it sustains. When you cross the finish line, a convenient shuttle will return you to the start.

For everyone who joins us, this is a unique opportunity to experience the awe of the Mississippi and answer the call to safeguard its future. Together, we run not just for ourselves, but for the generations who will one day cherish these waters as we do.

Want to volunteer at this event with us?

We're seeking a few volunteers to help FMR staff pass out water and cheer runners on their way to the finish line at an aid station in Crosby Farm Regional Park near the intersection of Shepard Road and Lexington Ave in St. Paul.

If we fill 10 volunteer spots, we'll receive an additional $400 donation from the run’s organizers. Learn more and register to volunteer at the FMR-sponsored aid station here.
