COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. - Saint John's track and field is teaming up with the University of Minnesota-Morris to host the first ever SJU Distance Carnival under the lights on the Clemens Stadium track on Thursday, Aug. 4, in Collegeville. The event will consist of one mile and 5k races on the track starting at dusk and running into the night. Cost for the event is $15 (if you choose to run both races you still only pay $15). 

The event is open to the community and race heats will be limited in size and will be seeded based on given entry time. First heats for the mile races will begin at 9 p.m. with registration opening an hour prior at the track. 5k races will begin immediately following the conclusion of the mile races. Come for the opportunity to race and/or for the chance to hang out with some friends. Either way we hope you can make it!

All registrations will be handled day-of, so there's no need to pre-register. However, feel free to email intent so we have and idea of the number of heats we're going to need.
