Saint Paul Winter Carnival Fire Run, Presented by Xcel Energy
It’s getting cold outside, which can mean only one thing – it’s race time!
Gather up your thermal underwear and neck warmers and start training today for the 38th annual (now called) the Saint Paul Winter Carnival Fire & Ice Run, Presented by Xcel Energy! This year, runners and walkers have the opportunity to participate in the NoK (pay to not run or walk- just enjoy the Vulcan’s Snow Park!) the 5K, 10K, 15K or 20K PLUS a Kid’s Run. The runners and walkers will spend some time with our own Fire & Ice- the Vulcan Krewe and the Royal Family. All proceeds from this event benefit the Saint Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation, proud producer of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival.
