The best weekend of the year is practically here.

On October 4th, 5th, & 6th, you’re going to want to kick it with City Running. With shakeout runs Friday and Saturday, a rowdy cheer zone and afterparty on Sunday, and limited Bandit x City Running x ASICS collabs, we’ve got TCM weekend fully wrapped.


The Athletic Club Pop-Up

Our Athletic Club Pop-Up at Mill City celebrates Twin Cities weekend as only City Running can do, and this year some friends from Greenpoint Brooklyn are swinging through.

Yes, 2024’s worst kept secret is our collab with the good folks from Bandit Running. We’ve collaborated to create a Twin Cities capsule unlike anything you’ve seen. Design driven and technical, we’re thrilled to welcome them to Minneapolis.

Pop Up Hours:

Friday October 4 — 7am-9am, 11am-6pm
Saturday October 5 — 10am-5pm
Sunday October 6 — Noon-5pm

Mill City Running - 411 E Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis MN 55414


Flapjack Friday presented by ASICS

A real Midwestern welcome, Flapjack Friday is the lid lifter to marathon weekend at City Running.  Easy miles are on the schedule starting at 6:30am followed by our customary Flapjack feed.

We’ll have ASICS out supporting the runners with shoe demos and a few additional surprises…

The Saturday Shake in partnership with ASICS

It’s not race day jitters, it’s the Saturday Shake.

Share some short and easy miles with your people then return to Saint City for a veritable buffet of breakfast cereals (love you General Mills). Will your favorite City Running personalities be dressed as your favorite cereal mascots? I really don’t want to overpromise but MAYBE.

New this year is the shop-in-shop experience of Threshold Vintage. A curated running and sport vintage pop-up from the brain of the bossman himself.

If you hear any noise, it’s just us. You can plan on turning it all the way up this year as we cheer our faces off at mile 23.5. Join City Running and Asics as we elevate and celebrate on Marathon Sunday at the intersection of Summit and Hamline. If you’re not racing, you’re gonna want to be here.
