Over the
year's, the Flood Run® motorcycle run/ride has grown and gone thru many changes as one of
the oldest and larger runs in America.
The original run went down Minnesota highway 61
to Winona to help sandbag during the 1965 floods.
Through the years, many people avoided the
traffic of Hastings MN. and Red Wing MN. by riding down
Wisconsin 35. Now the run has grown to a massive number of
motorcycles and to alleviate the congestion going into some of
the towns, we are adding the original nostalgia run down the
Minnesota side.
At highway 10 you can go left into Prescott
or right to highway 61 and down the nostalgia
Minnesota side where you get the morning sun and
discounts at the many new stops we have added.
You can cross the river at Prescott, Red Wing, Wabasha
or Winona. Cross the river where ever you like,
jump in where ever you like, just make sure to purchase
a Benefit Wristband to show your support for the Children's
Hospital.
Incorporating the whole Mississippi River
Valley.
It floods on both sides of the river.
The
Flood Run® motorcycle run/ride has always been a charity event.
From throwing sandbags in 1965 to buying a Benefit Wristband to support
a great cause!
All makes and models welcome!
" The Flood Run® Benefit Wristband in 1970 was
$10 and still is! "
