Outlaw Run 5k/15k Run-Walk

The Northfield Historical Society is excited to host the Outlaw Run 5K/15K Run-Walk on September 11, the Sunday of the Defeat of Jesse James Days celebration, as a professionally timed race. Last year over 300 runners and walkers from around the Twin Cities joined the live event.

The Outlaw Run name does not seek to glorify the James-Younger Gang but seeks to remember the men who chased after the robbers when the outlaws ran from Northfield after the robbery on September 7, 1876. Funds raised from the Outlaw Run will support educational programming, building preservation, care of collections, and general operating expenses at the Northfield Historical Society.

All ages are encouraged to participate in the run then spend the day at the celebration in town. Registration is $30 until August 31. After that time, the registration price increases. The link to the registration site can be found on the historical society's website, www.NorthfieldHistory.org or by searching on the race site, www.RunSignup.com.

Can't make it to the September 11 event in Northfield but want to participate anyway? We have the option for a virtual run, too! You can join us from wherever you live. Registration for the virtual race is an option on the race website listed above.

The event is proudly presented by Aldi, Inc., Merchants Bank, and Millersberg Construction. It is sponsored by Carleton College, Cardinal Glass, Upper Lakes Foods, Heritage Bank, Schieck Orthodontics, College City Beverage, Dakota Electric, Knecht's Nurseries and Landscaping, McLane, Northfield Automotive, Ole Store, Steve Schmidt Homes, Tin Tea, and By All Means Graphics.
