MTB Essentials:
MTB Essentials is perfect for the majority of riders out there. This session will cover everything you need to get dialed in for years to come. It all comes down to the basics and having the ability to get multiple reps in our ground school environment is key.
Our team of coaches will explain the rationale behind the technique, demonstrate it, then guide you through it. This instant feedback by coaches with years of real world riding and racing experience is instrumental in your growth during this session.
Topics covered:
Classroom
Bike Setup: Positioning of Controls, Suspension Setup, Tire Pressure/Style
Body Positioning Overview
Hydration/Fueling
Technique
Body Positioning
Pumping
Dynamic Braking
Effective Turning
Intro to Lifts
Intro to Drops
Intro to Jumps
We GUARANTEE a massive boost in confidence and fun on the trail! The best upgrade to ANY bike is a BETTER RIDER!
MTB Progression: This builds on the MTB Essentials and having familiarity with our verbiage is key. Combining Essentials & Progression will get you close to 90+ min of jumping.
Topics Covered:
Classroom
Rider Specific Control Setup
Suspension Setup: Sag, Rebound, Compression settings
Technique
Turning Matrix: Varying surfaces, increasing and decreasing radius, pre turn obstacle management (approx 45 min)
Drop Progression: Height increases, speed decreases, and implements get added (approx 35 min)
Lift Progression: Lift heights grow, as does the complexity (approx 35 min)
JUMPING: Riders build confidence with more reps on multiple takeoffs and increasing distances (approx 45-55 min)
JUMP Session:
This event is all about getting comfortable in the air. That starts with a solid understanding of what it takes to get into the air properly. It's also critical to get as MANY reps as possible in a controlled environment and that's what the TRS ground school setting gives you. Please be sure you have a solid base for this class. It IS NOT recommended for new riders. There is quite a bit that comes before jumping a bike and the Essentials and Progression provide that.
Our Pro level coaches break down the dynamics involved with jumping a bike. Based on over 70 years experience, they guide you through their real world experience and give you key insight and cues on what to do and also what not to do. Our coach to rider ratio guarantees a high level of personal attention.
After showcasing the proper technique, you'll work through a series of reps and the distance will incrementally increase as your comfort level increases. Analysis and feedback using slow motion video will have you "busting big" in no time.
There's no substitute for experience when it comes to jumping a bike. The only problem is that experience in the right setting can be hard to come by. You'll get well over a 100+ reps on our jump lines and receive valuable feedback in the moment.
Are you ready to take your jumping to the next level?
RIDERS MUST HAVE:
Experience jumping
Full suspension bikes with suspension in working order
Full safety gear including pads (Full Face helmet not required, but suggested)
This class is intended for riders with jump experience and will move at a specified pace. Coaching staff reserves the right to hold riders to pre determined distances based on performance.
Please reach out if you are unsure if this class is a proper fit for you.

We are dedicated to educating and teaching about mental illness, the warning signs of suicide, what you can do to help others who struggle, and community awareness initiatives.
So, let's UNITE to help others to KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Officer Shawn Silvera's Story
Officer Shawn Silvera, of the Lino Lakes Police Department, made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on September 6, 2005, while deploying stop-sticks during a high-speed chase. His life was taken tragically at the age of 32, leaving behind his wife and two young children. This race is held in his memory and pays tribute to a life dedicated to service. Fallen but never forgotten.
Life is made by what we give. Run with us!
The Invisible Wounds Project
Our mission is to support the mental health and well-being of veterans, first responders, and their families. We connect these individuals with therapists experienced in their unique challenges and offer wellness programs and social opportunities to help them engage with their communities. Our initiatives strengthen family ties, build a supportive network, and benefit hundreds each year by fostering purpose and giving back. Donations and fundraising efforts like this are essential, enabling us to continue providing these vital services and expanding our impact within the community.
The Public Safety Challenge is a special event within the Shawn Silvera 5k dedicated to honoring all first responders, including Law Enforcement, Firefighters, EMS personnel, front-line medical staff, Corrections officers, Dispatch professionals, and Military members. This challenge brings these heroes together in a friendly competition, where teams compete for a coveted traveling trophy. Challenge Accepted!
How to Participate
You can form a Public Safety Challenge Team or join an existing one to be part of the excitement and camaraderie.
• A minimum of four runners is required to create a team.
• The team captain registers the team with a chosen team name.
• At least two team members must be current or former First Responders.
• The remaining two runners can be friends or family members recruited by the team.
• The best three finishing places from a team will determine the Challenge Champions, and at least two of these three must be First Responders whose place points are scored.
The Civilian 5k Challenge is a spirited race held in tandem with the Public Safety Challenge, inviting all runners who seek not only personal achievement but also the opportunity to pay tribute to our nation’s veterans and first responders. Whether running solo or as part of a team—of any size—participants join together in recognition of the courage and dedication shown by those who serve.
No service record is required; everyone is welcome to participate.
Participants may run solo or as part of a team of any size.
For teams, the top three finishers’ places will be counted to determine the Civilian Challenge Champions.
All runners in both the Civilian 5k Challenge and the Public Safety Challenge are eligible for special awards.
The day is designed to celebrate healthy competition and honor the enduring legacy of our heroes.
Donations:
Our first responders give so much every day. Help us give back! Proceeds from the run support The Invisible Wounds Project and the Police Explorers for youth considering a career in law enforcement.

One route. Two neighborhoods. All heart.
One of Northeast Minneapolis's most beloved traditions is back for its 22nd year. The Historic Riverfront 5K takes you on a stunning loop along the Mississippi — through Nicollet Island, across the iconic Stone Arch Bridge, and back along the river to Boom Island. Fall foliage, city skyline, flowing water. It doesn't get more Minneapolis than this.

Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk
Lace up, hit the river, and help us raise funds for our Minneapolis Neighborhood Organizations!

Start and finish at Boom Island Park (724 Sibley St NE).
Late summer is peak season for this route. The tree canopy is popping, the river is gorgeous, and the cityscape doesn't hurt either. Come to race, come to stroll, come to show off your dog or push a stroller — everyone's welcome, every pace is valid.
After the finish line? Kramarczuk's brats, hot off the grill. You've earned it.
Top finishers (men's, women's, 65+, and 18 & under) take home prizes courtesy of Mill City Running — and every participant walks away with branded 5K swag.
