The University of Minnesota announced today the inaugural Goldy’s Run at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus will take place on April 9, 2011. The event is sponsored by the St. Jude Medical Foundation.
Goldy’s Run will include a 10 mile run, a 5K and a kid’s 1K run. Fans will have an opportunity to interact with Gopher athletes, coaches and of course, Goldy. The various race courses will take the participants through campus and the surrounding streets with all events finishing inside TCF Bank Stadium.
“We are excited to bring this event to the boosters and fans of the University of Minnesota while benefitting the University of Minnesota Athletics and Amplatz Children’s Hospital”, said Joel Maturi, Athletic Director of the University of Minnesota. “TCF Bank Stadium is the perfect location for our fans to gather together and with the finish line being inside the Stadium, participants will get an opportunity to be on the field as they finish.”

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Amplatz Children’s Hospital. Participants will receive a Goldy’s Run t-shirt, a finisher’s medal, snacks and refreshments.
