Annual event is at the starting line.
Get ready to gear up in green! The Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka Chamber is bringing its Luck O’ the Lake race to Excelsior for the 12th year running to fundraise for the community. Runners, volunteers and spectators alike can look forward to a fun day of dancing, activities, drinks and music, alongside the race itself on March 16.
There are two options for those looking to run: a 1-mile, short-track race or the full 5K. Participants can expect a trek up Minnetonka Boulevard into Greenwood for the long route or to Excelsior Boulevard and back for the short route.
Both races start and end at Excelsior Brewing Co., which is hosting an entertainment lineup, including a magician and dances from Rince na Gréine Irish Dance, along with providing a beer ticket to goers (21 years and older).
The race is open and welcome to all ages, and volunteers are encouraged to sign up until the day of the event, which is expected to host more than 1,000 event goers.
All ages. $45. 8 a.m.–noon. Excelsior Brewing Co., 421 Third St., Excelsior; 952.686.6046; excelsiorlakeminnetonkachamber.com
