Have you been dreaming of running the Boston Marathon? Need to shave a few minutes off your qualifying time? Or maybe you're just looking for the perfect course to set a new PR? Whether Boston is your goal or not, the Bound for Boston Marathon & Half Marathon is for you.
We're racing around Fernbrook Elementary School, and the course is a 1-mile super flat & super fast loop! The Full Marathon is USATF Certified making it a Boston Qualifier!
This event is uniquely designed for serious runners. We will have water and an electrolyte drink at the aid table. Participants are welcome to bring their own personalized aid to place on the aid tables, allowing you to grab exactly what you need each time you pass. Many runners even bring a cheer crew to help hand out fuel and keep the motivation high throughout the race.
To maintain the best possible experience, this is intentionally a small, focused event, capped at just 75 participants.
We will have a great race shirt and finisher medals for all participants. Awards for both distances are in the usual 5-year age groups.
Fast course, flexible support, and a chance to chase your goals—this is the race that lets you run your perfect day.
By design this will be a smaller event, focused on getting you your fastest time.
parkrun is such a simple concept: turn up every Saturday and volunteer, walk, jog or run 5k.
The Ravine Trail Run takes place on cross-country ski trails with several hills, making it moderately challenging. The trail is a 3.2-mile loop, wide enough for passing and walking, featuring hills, valleys, shaded tree areas, and sunny prairie sections. The terrain includes grass, mud, packed dirt, and rocky sections in washout areas. The 5k race consists of one loop, while the 10k race includes two loops.
Course and Location:
The race starts at the Ravine Landing building next to the parking lot at the end of Ravine Road, following the Green and Red trail loops. These will be marked with ACR arrows, but be aware of many offshoots and the fact that trails are open to the public. We do our best with signage.

Timing and Results:
The Ravine Trail Run is a gun-timed race using chips. Each runner must wear a race bib visible at all times, especially when crossing the finish line. Timing is based on a group start. Faster runners should start closer to the start line, while walkers should start near the back of the corral to prevent bottlenecking. Be considerate of other racers by stating when you are passing and moving to the right if your pace slows. Results will be posted on our Runsignup page, and QR codes will be available for immediate result checks at the finish line.
Awards and Prizes:
Awards will be given to the top 3 overall male and female finishers based on gun time. Age group awards based on chip time will be given if enough runners participate.

The trail is open to the public; please be courteous to pedestrians.
Pets are not allowed; the trail can get crowded.
Your bib must be visible at all times.
Post-Race Celebration:
The post-race celebration begins as soon as runners cross the finish line, featuring music and light snacks.
Spectator Information:
The best spot for spectators is at the starting line. There are a few spots along the trail where you can catch your runner and then cut across to see them again.
Safety Precautions:
The trails are open to the public; be cautious and courteous.
This is not a stroller-friendly course due to loose soil, mud, dirt, and hills.
No bikes are allowed in the race.

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.

Why the SISU Backyard Ultra?
The SISU Backyard Ultra at Lake Rebecca brings together running, grit, community, and a true Finnish touch — complete with a sauna and swim option after your run.Inspired by the Finnish word sisu — meaning determination, toughness, resilience, and the willingness to keep going when things get hard — this race is built to challenge runners of all experience levels.The format is simple, but the challenge is not: runners complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour. Finish the loop with time to spare, and you can rest, refuel, change gear, hit the sauna, take a swim, or get ready for the next start. When the next hour begins, everyone still in the race starts again.If you do not finish the loop within the hour, or you are unable to start the next loop on time, your race is over. Everyone else keeps going.That is the beauty of the backyard ultra: there is no set finish line. Your goal might be one loop, a half marathon, a marathon, 50K, 50 miles, 100 miles, or simply one more loop than you thought you could do. At SISU, every runner gets to define their own version of success.Our loop at Lake Rebecca will include a mix of gravel, asphalt, and trail, giving runners a scenic and varied course throughout the day and night.Whether you are attempting your first backyard ultra, chasing a new distance, or just coming to experience something different, SISU is designed to be hard, welcoming, memorable, and fun.Come run one loop. Come chase your first ultra. Come see how far you can go.Bring your crew, bring your friends, bring your stubbornness.This is SISU.

Get ready to test your endurance at the Icebox event, a timed challenge that allows you to accumulate as many miles as possible on a beautiful single-track course (5ish miles per loop) before time runs out.
