What is a Zero K Run?
It’s an excuse to have a really good time and raise awareness and money for the CMT Research Foundation. Have you ever wanted to have the full experience of participating in a 5K, 10k or Marathon but just didn’t want to do the running part? This is the race for you!
From race packets, to running bibs, to finisher medals, to 0.0 stickers and more, everyone who signs up to “run” will get the full racer treatment and when the starter horn goes off, everyone will stand up from their lawn chair . . . and then sit back down.
Pre- and post-race will include great live music, comedy, and entertainment for the whole family. It is an afternoon of fun, contests, activities food and drink all outdoors at the amazing Forgotten Star Brewery in Fridley, MN. Think big time fun for a cause!
