Distance runners will find the 10 Mile to be an awesome early distance run to incorporate into their training schedules.
Gopher Sports is proud to introduce the St. Jude Medical Foundation as the presenting sponsor of the inaugural Goldy’s Run. Gopher Sports and the St. Jude Medical Foundation have partnered on this unique event to benefit the new Amplatz Children’s Hospital on campus.
