Annual “ Flood Run” happens spring and fall every year, thousands of motorcyclists partake in the nations 2nd longest running motorcycle ride along the Great River Road that at times has been the 3rd biggest run in the country. The ride commemorates the historic run made by a group of riders who travelled from St Paul to Winona to help sandbag during the historic 1965 flood. And bikers have rode that route every year since. Flood Run now raises money for Gillette children’s Hospital continuing the biker tradition of helping others. www.floodrunrally.com
