Who this weekend is for?
We like people who laugh, ask first, negotiate then celebrate, are sex and body positive, use names and pronouns correctly, check in (and check out), and make “no” respected and “yes” safe. Leather, lace, latex, comfy jeans; tops, bottoms, switches, and “still figuring it out;” all bodies and abilities — if you’re here to learn, laugh, listen, and love, welcome home.
Who’s hosting this Event?
Founded in 1972, the Atons of Minneapolis are one of the United States’ oldest continuously active leather/Levi social fraternities. We’ve hosted our runs in Minnesota since 1972 as a gathering place for a broad spectrum of leather and link folks, and we want you to be part of our run.
