I'm a sucker for themed runs and based on how many people I see participating in them, you probably are as well. It's even better when they're for a great cause like the Jingle Bell Run in Duluth, which benefits the Arthritis Foundation.

It's a great time of year to hit the road and explore the beautiful fall colors. It's also a time of year where some great 5Ks pop up in Minnesota and Wisconsin. This Saturday, those two things combine for a great event near North Branch, Minnesota.

Run or walk to raise money for the Northland Law Enforcement K-9 Foundation.
