People’s Food Co-op is proud to support the Reggie Oeltjen 11-Mile Race, a long-standing local tradition held on the scenic Douglas Trail.

First run in 1976, the race was renamed in 2017 to honor Reggie Oeltjen, a dedicated member and volunteer of the Rochester Running Club. Reggie dreamed of running across Minnesota, from South Dakota to Wisconsin, at age 65. He passed away peacefully midway through that journey, and this event now carries his name and spirit forward.

We’ll be at the finish line with organic watermelon slices for all runners, and whole watermelons as prizes for the top finishers. Register to Race Here
