About the Event

The Tour de SAVE 2026 returns to Northfield in Minnesota on July 18th for its 23rd edition, an event that has become a cornerstone of the local community’s calendar.
Northfield, nestled between rolling hills and vibrant green spaces, offers a picturesque setting for this annual celebration. As runners gather at the downtown park by Lake Calhoun, they are greeted with the crisp morning air and the scent of wildflowers blooming along the streets. The early summer light casts long shadows across Main Street as participants warm up before their race starts.
Since its inception in 2004, Tour de SAVE has evolved into more than just a sporting event; it is a community-wide effort to raise funds for suicide prevention and support services. Over the years, thousands of runners have participated, contributing both physically and financially towards this vital cause. The event has garnered recognition not only for its fundraising efforts but also as an integral part of Northfield’s identity.

The course itself winds through the heart of Northfield, starting from the historic Lake Calhoun park and meandering through residential streets before heading out into the countryside. Paved paths are interspersed with sections of gravel, providing a mix of surface conditions that challenge participants in different ways. Distinctive landmarks such as the University of St. Thomas campus add to the charm of this uniquely designed route.
At the start line, runners will find themselves facing an elevation profile that gradually increases before leveling off towards the midway point. Multiple aid stations are strategically placed along the course to ensure hydration and nutrition stops for all participants. Notable features include a scenic detour around Lake Calhoun at the 8-mile mark, which is both picturesque and invigorating.
Weather conditions in July typically bring an average temperature of 22.3°C with a high chance of sunshine lasting about 12 hours and 40 minutes each day. Runners can expect light to moderate humidity levels and occasional cool breezes from the north. The UV index is rated as very high, so sun protection will be essential.
