2026 Unified 5K - Twin Cities

Little Canada 5k Sap Run

Just as the maple sap runs after the long winter gives way to spring warmth, runners can also get out and run in the sun at the Little Canada 5K Sap Run around beautiful Gervais Lake on Saturday, May 2, 2026. Little Canada’s logo includes a maple leaf, which was the inspiration for this spring race. Join us for a competitive race or a fun run/walk and start the spring off on the right foot.

Expanded program for 2026. New Hiking group option along with Trail running group. Runners can expect to do a level 1-level 2 distance trail run each week, with some weeks including an intensity workout. Hikers will explore the trails without the extra challenge of running.

The focus of this group is to maintain your physical fitness throughout the summer months and get outside on the trails for a run with like minded individuals.
