THE THUMBS UP MOVEMENT
Thumbs Up was founded in 2014 by several community members in honor of two great men, Bob Schmit and Chuck Dahlheimer, who, like many others, took their lives after living in silence from a mental illness. Thumbs Up is all about EMBRACING those struggling and breaking the stigma around mental health, connecting, supporting, and encouraging one another to talk about their feelings and challenges and to "KEEP MOVING FORWARD."
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.
MISSION STATEMENT
Bringing awareness to mental health and providing support and resources to all.
#KEEPMOVINGFORWARD
The Maple Grove Triathlon welcomes elite and avid triathletes, amateurs and everyone in between.

Choose from four different race distances and formats or gather your friends and compete as a team.
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.
Event's current local time: 3:23 AM CT

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.
Check-in will open at 9:00 AM on Saturday, September 12, 2026. The race will start at 10:00 AM.
NOTE: Registration will be open online until September 11th @11:59pm, and will be available in person the morning of the race. T-shirts will only be guaranteed for those registering online prior to September 1st. We will do our best and give you a shirt if we have some extras, but shirts are not guaranteed if registering after 9/1.
The course starts at the Osseo Senior High track, continues through residential Osseo, and finishes along Central Avenue.
The race will be chip-timed and results will be posted online. There will not be a formal awards program, but medals and prizes will be awarded at the finish line to the top female and male finishers in the following age categories: 0-10, 11-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+.
After the race, stay for the parade and other fun family activities for the Osseo Lions Roar celebration!

Trail Kids Mountain Bike Programs are part of the Loppet Foundation’s Trail Kids year-round programming.
Trail Kids offers six-week mountain bike sessions for novice to advanced riders. Participants ages 7-13 will explore the paved & single-track trails in and around Theodore Wirth Park while gaining skills they can use for a lifetime! (for programming for 13 and older, check out LCW Juniors programs)! The focus of the mountain bike sessions is to develop skills, meet new friends, and have fun while building confidence riding single track trails.
Ability Level Guide: For those who have NO experience mountain biking on singletrack trails it is highly recommended that they take one of our Beginner Mountain Bike Clinics before joining the six-week evening sessions. When registering your child make sure to indicate their ability level as described in the Trail Kids MTB Skill Level Guide.
Ages: Ages 7 – 13, beginner to advanced abilities welcome; we split into different coaching groups based on ability, pacing, and age. We do not have programs for kids 6 years of age and under, so please do not register them until they turn seven years old.
Equipment Needed: All participants will need their own mountain bike, helmet, and water carrier (no bottle cage on handlebars - CamelBaks are a great option too!). Mountain bikes need to have both front and back wheel brakes on the handle bars (no peddle brakes). No kickstands are allowed. Tires must have tread and be wide enough to ride safely on mountain bike trails. For more on mountain bike equipment, view the Trail Kids MTB Equipment Guide.
*Please note that rental bikes are not available for our 6-Week offerings.
Swag: Trail Kids T-shirt and water bottle for all participants available at no additional cost. In an effort to reduce waste, TK Swag is now listed as an optional “add-on” during your registration. If you’d like your participant to receive this swag please ensure it is selected.
Friend Requests: For safety and equity reasons, Trail Kids does not offer friend requests as part of registration. The mass quantity of friend requests made it impossible to accommodate them all and greatly impacted safety and group dynamics. We would love to allow everyone to practice with their friends, but if we cannot accommodate all friend requests, we cannot offer them to everyone. We encourage riders to embrace the opportunity to form new friendships through our programs!
Weather Cancellations: While Trail Kids embraces the belief that the outdoors can be enjoyed in any weather, there are some weather circumstances, including high temperatures, thunderstorms, etc. that can create unsafe or wildly unpleasant experiences for our coaches and participants. We will occasionally cancel or shorten practices due to extreme weather. We make weather calls the day of, 90 minutes before the start of practice. We will contact you via email and/or Team App about adjustments to practices; please do not ask in advance. Assume practice is always running unless you have received an email or a Team App notification otherwise (be sure that you can receive Team App notifications and do not unsubscribe from RunSignUp). Due to the lack of adequate indoor space and additional programs utilizing it already, Trail Kids is unable to shift practices inside on days where we have inclement weather/AQI. In instances where practice is canceled due to inclement weather, we do not offer
refunds or make up practices.
Financial Assistance: To apply please fill out the Loppet Financial Assistance Application. We will follow up with you with instructions on how to register at a price that is manageable for your family. Applications for programs that start two weeks or less from the date of submission will not be approved. *Limitations apply, please see the application form for rules and restrictions. In most instances there will be a $500 financial assistance cap per person/per year.
Sibling Discount: For those families who have three or more kids in the Trail Kids offering we can provide a fifteen percent discount code. Please email [email protected] for more information.
Refund Policy: The Loppet will issue a full refund of the program fee minus the original processing fee up until 6 weeks before the program starts. Between 6 weeks and 4 weeks from the program start date, a 50% refund will be issued. Between 4 and 3 weeks from the program start date, a 25% refund will be issued. There are no refunds for any cancellations within less than 3 weeks of the start of a program. During the program, if your child has a medical issue that makes it impossible to participate, please contact the TK Admin team email at [email protected]. If the Loppet cancels a program, a full refund will be issued. For instructions on how to request a refund, click here.
Our most popular trail running event of the season, the Trail Loppet on Sunday is a day of rugged, urban trail running in Minneapolis’s largest regional park. The Half Marathon, 10K and 5K races in Theodore Wirth Park are the ultimate urban trail running experience, and all participants will be greeted after the race with music and a free Utepils drink. All Sunday race courses will start at the Trailhead and finish at Utepils Brewing!
Trail Loppet weekend starts with Loppet Field Day! Loppet Field Day on Saturday is a fun-filled day at the Trailhead in Theo Wirth Park of both competitive and non-competitive events for kids of all abilities and interests. The day will start with an untimed 1 mile and 0.5 mile trail run, before concluding with a variety of fun “trail and field” games and challenges. Great for your little adventures of all ages!
Loopet Loppet is deepening your connection with the outdoors! We’re celebrating Dakota people, land, and traditions along Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ, the Dakota name for Bassett Creek.
Join the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet and run or walk a 6-hour or 12-hour experience that connects you with the earth in new ways. Come solo or as a team of 4 to run or walk as many 5-mile loops as possible.
We’ll also have a Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Little Loopet for kids (under 8) to walk or run! And the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ 1 Loop Fun Run/Walk is an untimed event is perfect for running or walking along the creek for all ages, either solo or with friends.

Historic Riverfront 5K Run/Walk
Lace up, hit the river, and help us raise funds for our Minneapolis Neighborhood Organizations! The Historic Riverfront 5K takes you on one of the most scenic routes in the Twin Cities — winding through historic Minneapolis along the Mississippi, across the iconic Stone Arch Bridge, with sweeping views of Downtown and St. Anthony Falls. 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.

Dakota Rail Trail at Mayer, MN The 2026 We Walk Event will be held Saturday Sept 26, 2026 on the Dakota Rail trail west of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis & St Paul, Minnesota. We feature short to long walking distances: 10 km, 13.1 miles, 26.2 miles or 50 km.The new course was selected by walkers to be walker-friendly. The paved asphalt trail follows an old railroad bed on the western outskirts of the Twin Cities. The races will start/finish in Mayer, MN. The Mayer Lutheran High School will be the starting/finishing facility The Dakota Rail Trail is close to the many amenities of the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area. Walk On! This is an event designed for walkers. We welcome all walkers, including, but not limited to, ordinary walkers, fitness walkers, power walkers, nordic walkers, race walkers, hikers, walk/runners, wheelers and riders.One unusual feature of this event is that we have a speed limit of 10:18 minutes per mile. Your result will show a minimum pace of 10:18/mile (with
corresponding finish time). So, if you finish in 2:10:00 for the marathon, we will report it in the results as 4:30:00. We recommend that if you are fast, find another event. Style of Walking Walking means that at least one foot appears to be touching the ground at all times. Strolling, hiking, fitness walking, power walking and ordinary walking all follow this rule, as does Nordic walking and race walking. Nordic Walking means that you must walk and use one walking pole in each hand on every step. Race Walking means that you must follow USA Track & Field rule 232.2: “[…] a progression of steps so taken that the [race] walker makes contact with the ground so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact occurs. The advancing leg must be straightened (i.e., not bent at the knee) from the moment of first contact with the ground until the leg is in the vertical upright position.” Mixture of Walking and Running means that you walk part of the time and run or jog part of the time. For more
information on this style, check out the web site of Jeff Galloway, the inventor of the Galloway Run-Walk-Run method. Wheeling means you use a self-propelled non-electric wheel chair. Riding means you ride in stroller or other wheeled conveyance propelled by others. A Rider must be a member of a team that includes at least one pusher. Registration Dates The Discounted Early Tier is closes on April 1.T-Shirts can be ordered as an 'Add-On' up to Aug 15th. Use the 'Store' tab to order T-shirts. Late registration from Sept 1 - 24 has higher fees. There is no race day registration. Event's current local time: 3:35 AM CT
