The Mendota Bottoms Trail run consists of 10 Mile and 5k runs along the scenic Minnesota River on the Ft. Snelling Park trail starting in Mendota. Proceeds from the race will be donated to the Ft. Snelling State Park to maintain the trail.
Due to the closure of both Ft Snelling State Park and the Lilydale Trail in St Paul we will be moving outside of the park to the Big Rivers Regional Trail, an "urban" asphalt trail. The race hq is now the back patio of Luckys 13. Below are some pictures of the Ft Snelling State Park as of 7/30/19.

The race donated over $500 to Ft Snelling State Park in 2018 for maintaining the trail!
Over the last six years we have raised over $7,500 for the park.
The money has been used to repair the bridges, manage the washout area south of Hwy 55 bridge, and purchase equipment to maintain the trail.

We have joined with Urban Wildland to create the Into the Wild Running Series. The Series' mission is to support races that preserve and promote green spaces for all to enjoy.
A portion of each series participant's registration will go to protect Carpenter Nature Center, Wood Lake Nature Center and the trail on the Mendota side of Ft. Snelling State Park.
To learn more and to register go to the Series website.
