The Gopher to Badger Half Marathon is the summer race of the Run Stillwater series, held on the St. Croix River in Stillwater, Minnesota. The course is USATF certified and the half marathon starts at 7:00 a.m. The traditional route begins in Minnesota and finishes in Hudson, Wisconsin. In 2026 road construction moved all distances to a loop based at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Lake Elmo. A 10K and a 5K run the same morning, every finisher gets a collectible medal, aid stations offer water and Gatorade, and the time limit is 4 hours.
