From races featuring thousands of participants to blogger gatherings at local wineries, CommonGround Minnesota is returning to in-person events this summer and fall.

CommonGround will partner with Twin Cities in Motion (TCM) for its Women Run the Cities race events in late July and Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend race events held in early October. TCM running events have long been popular with both professional athletes and beginners. The many thousands of runners and spectators on hand will have the opportunity to learn more about the food that fuels them and how it is produced right here in our state.

In September, CommonGround will host two field-to-fork-themed events. At one, guests can learn more about Minnesota agriculture, meet local farmers, and enjoy delicious food and drinks at Schram Winery in Waconia. At the other, CommonGround will partner with the Twin Cities Mom Collective to host a blogger event at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s Farm at the Arb. Attendees will be invited to explore the crop plots and learn more about modern agricultural technology, as well as visit the iconic red barn.

Both events will highlight the importance of agriculture in our state while aiming to help build a better understanding of how farmers produce safe, nutritious food and protect our natural resources.
