About Running Aces

Running Aces opened in 2008 at 15201 Running Aces Blvd in Forest Lake, Minnesota, and operates as Running Aces Casino, Hotel & Racetrack. The property is known for combining a harness racetrack with a casino and card room, hotel, restaurant, and outdoor entertainment space, creating a multi-purpose destination for visitors in the north Twin Cities metro.

Events at Running Aces include outdoor concerts, live music, comedy shows, movie screenings, games, festivals, car shows, group outings, private events, corporate events, and live harness horse racing. Outdoor entertainment and live racing run primarily during the warmer months, roughly spring through fall, while the casino, card room, hotel, and restaurant operate year-round.

Running Aces is Minnesota’s premier harness racing facility and a regional destination where standardbred racing, gaming, dining, and open-air entertainment share one property.

Location & Transportation

Running Aces is located at 15201 Running Aces Blvd, Forest Lake, MN 55025 — north of the Twin Cities near Forest Lake and Columbus, Minnesota, with straightforward access from I-35.

Driving and Parking: Running Aces is best reached by car. The complex sits just off Interstate 35, making it accessible from Minneapolis–St. Paul and communities along the north metro corridor. On-site parking is available at the property, and arriving early is a smart move for popular concerts, festivals, and racing dates.

Transit: Public transit service is minimal in this suburban and exurban setting, so most guests should plan on driving or arranging a ride. The location works well for visitors coming by highway, especially from the Twin Cities metro and the I-35 corridor.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are possible at Running Aces, though availability can be more limited here than in central Minneapolis or St. Paul. After events, build in extra time for a ride to arrive, especially on busy nights.

Nearby Accommodation: Running Aces includes an on-site hotel, which is the most convenient lodging option for guests attending an event, racing program, or casino visit. Additional lodging is available in Forest Lake and along the I-35 corridor.

Venue Navigation

Running Aces is a multi-use entertainment complex with a casino, hotel, racetrack, dining areas, and an outdoor entertainment space. Understanding the property before you arrive helps you plan parking, entry, food, and the walk to your event area more smoothly.

Dining Options

Inside Running Aces

Running Aces offers on-site dining and bar service, including a restaurant and food and drink options for entertainment events. Food and beverages are also available in the outdoor entertainment area, making it possible to eat and drink on-site before or during concerts, movies, festivals, and other events.

Outside the Venue — Forest Lake and the I-35 Corridor

Additional dining is available in Forest Lake and along the I-35 corridor north of the Twin Cities. For the easiest evening, many guests choose on-site dining first, especially when attending an outdoor show or arriving early for racing and entertainment.

Security & Policies

Running Aces maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Entry Procedures: Digital or printed ticket verification is expected for ticketed entertainment events. Because Running Aces is also a gaming facility, standard age requirements apply to casino and card room areas. Arriving with tickets ready to scan helps keep entry moving.

How Much Do Tickets to Running Aces Cost?

Running Aces ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or event type, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from movies and community events to outdoor concerts and comedy shows.

For outdoor concerts, live music, and comedy, tickets are typically affordable and often start low for general admission shows. Prices can rise for higher-demand performers, popular dates, and events with reserved or group seating options.

Movies, family events, and community-focused events are generally low-priced compared with larger concert productions. These events can be a strong value for guests looking for a casual night out at the property.

Buying earlier generally secures better availability and pricing for higher-demand shows. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining options can rise, especially when a popular artist, festival, or weekend event drives demand.

Getting Ready for Your Running Aces Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor venue like this where parking, weather, and open-air surfaces can shape the experience.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time for car travel off I-35, on-site parking, and entry, especially for popular shows.
• Wear the right footwear. Outdoor entertainment events are open-air, and grass or outdoor surfaces can be part of the experience, so supportive shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. Outdoor events are exposed to Minnesota weather. Bring layers for cooler evenings and prepare for sun, heat, or rain depending on the date.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Car travel is the main way to reach Running Aces, and arriving early helps reduce stress around parking and entry.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
