10:30am Gather and carbo-load
11:00am Race Begins
Bald Eagle Avenue (between 3rd and 2nd street) in White Bear Lake
The past 11 marathons have raised over $114,000 for the Food Shelf!
Your $35 tax-deductible donation per participant ($15 for children under age 12) includes: two White Castles from Mueller Memorial for a carbo-load before the race, a bottle of water halfway down the block, so no one gets dehydrated, AND in celebration of completing the WBL Shortest Marathon, Caribou Coffee and Cub donut holes at the finish line.
Register by September 19 to receive an “I FINISHED THE FOOD SHELF MARATHON” custom t-shirt. T-shirts are not guaranteed if you register after Thursday, September 19.
T-shirts can be picked up at the food shelf (1884 Whitaker Street) after registration, as supplies are available. Final t-shirt pickup is on Friday, September 27 between 4:00-6:00pm. Tours of the food shelf will be available! Any shirts not picked up by 10:30am on the day of the event will be forfeited.
