Remembering Matt Powers 5K Run/Walk

Remembering Matt Powers 5K Run/Walk takes place in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on November 1, 2026. A single event fills the morning, a 5K covering 3.1 miles as either a run or a walk, and it starts at 9:30 a.m., late enough that you are not standing around in the cold long before the gun.

A late-morning start is easy to plan around, whether you are driving in or fitting the race into the rest of your day. The run/walk format keeps the field mixed, so pick your own approach and go. Runners wanting a real 5K effort should spend four to six weeks running several days a week and add one workout of five or six short repeats at hard effort with easy jogging between them.
