2012 marks our 13th 13.1 and in that time, the Earth Day Run presented by Scheels, has grown from an idea to a first class running event which attracts over 4,500 runners to the city of St. Cloud, MN and the campus of St. Cloud State University!

 

Our first newsletter is out. For some of the changes we have planned and things to know be sure to check it out.
