February is here and that means it’s time for chocolate, a romantic evening or two, maybe a 5k and of course the Parade of Homes(sm).

After the Parade of Homes there are still many great things to do in the Twin Cities during these wintery months. February is filled with all kinds of activities to get your hear pumping including:

Maple Grove Polar Plunge

When: February 7th, 1pm
Where: Fish Lake Regional Park
14900 Bass Lake Road Maple Grove, MN 55311

Think you have what it takes? The concept is simple: participants raise a minimum of $75 and take a dip into one of Minnesota’s frozen lakes. But the Plunges are so much more than that: They’re the kind of fun and thrilling events that you really have to experience to understand. This is a wonderful opportunity to support the Special Olympics of Minnesota and it’s a story you’ll be telling non believers (especially the ones who live in warmer climates) for the rest of your life. Grab some friends, get pumped and register today!

Valentine’s Day TC 5k

When: Saturday, February 14, 10am
Where: Lake Harriet Bandshell
4120 W. Lake Harriet Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55410

Get your hear pumping with the Valentine’s Day TC 5k, the oldest winter run in Minnesota! This is a great race for those who are just starting to do marathons but it’s also fun for experienced runners. Bring the kids too, they’ll have a great time. You can even bring your pet!
