About
Kick off Valentine's weekend with a brisk winter run at Half Fast Half. Stay warm inside the Vadnais Heights Elementary gym for packet pickup, then choose your distance—5K, 10.5K, or a certified half marathon—on gently rolling, snowy roads. Aid stations keep you moving, and a pancake-and-sausage breakfast awaits after the finish. A classic Minnesota winter half marathon experience for every pace.
Save Half Fast Half to your season and RunCalendar reminds you the morning entries open and before they close. Free on iPhone, no account needed.
