On the weekend before Valentine's Day, runners appeared to turn Nicollet Mall into a strip mall on Saturday afternoon for Cupid's Undie Run, a fundraiser for the Children's Tumor Foundation. The event, new to Minneapolis this year, was being held in 16 other U.S. cities plus Sydney, Australia; at least $1 million was raised for research.
