- The 811 Run returns to Bloomington, MN, on Saturday, Aug. 13 with a 5K run/walk around Lake Calhoun starting at 8:11 a.m., followed by a kids fun run, and then an awards ceremony, prize giveaway and safety fair. All proceeds will go to Twin Cities Firefighters’ Operation Warm, an organization that provides winter coats to children in need.
