EKSR 5K!
Eagan Central Park
Rotary Bandshell
Spread the word! The 5K is our largest fundraiser.
Dollars raised fund our non-profit giving to The Open Door Eagan Community Foundation, Guild, The Drawer, Kids N Kinship, Can Do Canines, Caponi Art Park, Local Public Safety and many more.
The 5k is open to all ages. New this year is a 1-mile walk option.
Registered participants will receive a commemorative race t-shirt and post-race refreshments. 5K will also include chip timing by Anderson Race Management and awards will be given to the top race finisher in both the men’s and women’s categories.
This smile could be yours at our next service event!
Here's EKSR member Doug “The Big Hammer” Petesch having fun at the latest Habitat for Humanity event with the Apple Valley Rotary.

Leif Hagen District Governor Installation
Burnsville Ames Center
12600 Nicollet Ave, Burnsville
The evening will blend fun surprises with heartfelt moments honoring our past while looking ahead to a vibrant new year shaped by the theme "The Art of Rotary".
Guests are invited to enjoy complimentary appetizers, a cash bar, and the company of fellow Rotarians in a relaxed business casual setting.
Free parking is available in an attached parking ramp. The Eagan Rotary Club is honored to host this event, and we would be delighted to have you with us as we welcome their member Leif Hagen into his new role and launch an inspiring year of service and creativity.
Why is the marathon officially 26.2 miles rather than a round 26?
A. It matches the approximate distance run by Pheidippides B. It was standardized after the 1908 London Olympics course was extended C. It was designed to equal 40 kilometers plus a ceremonial lap D. It was chosen by the International Olympic Committee in Paris in 1924
Did You Know?
"Chip time" and "gun time" are not the same: gun time starts when the race begins, while chip time starts when an individual runner crosses the start line.
