Can’t Make It?
If you are not going to make the race, you do not need to notify us, we will know you are not running if you do not check in.
Parking:
There is more than enough parking on site. Those arriving later, be prepared for a 5+ minute walk. Parking volunteers will direct you as soon as you enter the park. A detailed map showing available parking can be found HERE https://www.estrs.com/wp-content/uploads/ESTRS-Spring-Lake-Park-5-Mile-Course-Map-7-29-2019-400PM.jpg
Check-In:
Check-in starts at 5:00 PM – Race Starts at 6:30 PM. We understand that work days can be a little hectic, if you arrive after the start of the race you will not be able to pick up your number / officially start the race, however, you are welcome to get your sticker, go out for a run on your own and join us after.
Weather – ESTRS Races Are Hot Weather Races:
Summer in Minnesota is often hot and humid. We have had races with temperatures in the low 90’s. For races over 5KM we will have a water stop around the halfway point. For races 5KM and shorter there will be no water stop, but plenty off water at the finish. Be sure to carry water if you feel you will need it. Adjusting your pace and race plan accordingly, along with proper hydration, and electrolyte balance is key. We expect that you will use personal judgement in deciding if it is too hot for you to run.
Weather – Rain and Severe Weather:
ESTRS races are held rain or shine – however, severe weather is a different story. If there is severe weather we will delay the start of the race. Runners will be notified of the delay via public address at the start line / in the start area and asked to shelter under the pavilion or in their vehicles. If severe weather persists we will call off the event.

Bib number assignments will be available mid-morning on Wednesday July 31. You will find your bib number HERE https://www.estrs.com/2025-estrs-spring-lake-5mi-bib-number-assignments/

Bring ID:
