The Spring Lake 5 Mile is a rolling trail race run as two loops in a figure eight at Spring Lake Park in Hastings, Minnesota. The course combines wide mowed prairie trails with single and double track through the woods and has an elevation gain of about 310 ft (approximately 62 ft per mile). There is a water stop after the first loop, roughly 5 km into the race.

The field is limited to 425 runners and the listed entry fee is $30 plus the third-party registration service fee. Entry fees are nonrefundable and registrations are not transferable. Organizers may modify or cancel the race for safety or other serious reasons; no refunds are issued in such cases.
Registered runners receive a marked course, chip timing, a giveaway sticker, and support from volunteers. Post-race provisions include pizza and refreshments.
