August 6, 2023, 9:00 a.m., Lake Phalen, St. Paul, MN
The third annual ReNew Earth Running Haulin' Pollen 5k will kickoff the Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi Pollinator Festival! Proceeds from the 5k will benefit RER's mission and Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi's work of protecting nature and sacred sites.
Construction has begun on the Wakan Tipi Cultural Center! This is such tremendous news, and as a result, the Haulin’ Pollen 5k and the Pollinator Festival will be at Lake Phalen again this year. The 5k course will include one loop around Lake Phalen. After you finish your amazing run, runners are invited to stay and enjoy a full morning of activities at Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi’s Pollinator Festival!

HP5k Logo. This year’s HP5k logo features the Pollinator Sky Rise that is present along the Haulin’ Pollen 5k course. The Pollinator Sky Rise provides a nesting bee habitat. The habitats also provided information and data to the University of Minnesota Bee Lab on the patterns and preferences of pollinators. The site around the sky rise also provides information about pollinators to educate the public.
The HP5k logo was created by RER Runner, Scott Tom. Scott is the owner of ST Graphix. Follow ST Graphix at @st_graphix.az on Instagram and check out Scott’s amazing work and consider him for your graphic design needs. ST Graphix is Navajo owned.
