NEW THIS YEAR:

Ramsey Community Foundation as official Nonprofit Partner

The Ramsey Community Foundation is committed to building meaningful connections and promoting a thriving community by enriching our city through impactful social and cultural experiences. Guided by this mission, we work to enhance public spaces through thoughtful and engaging public art that will reflect the character and values of our city.

The foundation has a long history of supporting projects that strengthen Ramsey when tax dollars aren't available. For nearly 20 years, the Ramsey Community Foundation has partnered with residents, local organizations and the City to launch initiatives that create lasting community impacts. Many residents may recognize our role in launching the Concerts at The Draw, early community garden efforts, Heart Safe Ramsey, and Ramsey’s new Farmers Market this summer.

We are currently fundraising towards a public art installation at The Waterfront, Ramsey’s new water play project. This highly anticipated community space will serve as a central gathering place for local and visiting residents. Families, friends and, neighbors will be able to come together for active play while also enjoying the beauty of our city. Incorporating public art into The Waterfront will elevate the space beyond its recreational purpose. This will foster creativity, civic pride, and a strong sense of connection.

Support for this project directly contributes to the transformation of our shared public spaces into places of memorable beauty. This art installation will stand as a lasting investment into Ramsey’s future by enhancing our artistic landscape and providing meaningful experiences for generations to come.

During registration, runners may choose to fundraise on behalf of the Ramsey Community Foundation or make an optional one-time donation. Participation in the race does not require fundraising or a donation.

Through your support, we can continue our commitment in creating a vibrant, connected and thriving community.

    Come celebrate St. Michael Daze and Knights weekend with a 5k to start your Saturday. This year's 5k will follow the same route as past year's but will change from a Color Run to a chip timed 5k. This fun 5k is for all levels - the competitive runners as well as those pushing strollers or being pulled by dogs. And for the people who really want to get pummeled with colored powder, we still have a race for you. The youth Color Daze Run will begin right after the 5k finishes.

    Have you been dreaming of running the Boston Marathon? Need to shave a few minutes off your qualifying time? Or maybe you're just looking for the perfect course to set a new PR? Whether Boston is your goal or not, the Bound for Boston Marathon & Half Marathon is for you.

    We're racing around Fernbrook Elementary School, and the course is a 1-mile super flat & super fast loop! The Full Marathon is USATF Certified making it a Boston Qualifier!

    This event is uniquely designed for serious runners. We will have water and an electrolyte drink at the aid table. Participants are welcome to bring their own personalized aid to place on the aid tables, allowing you to grab exactly what you need each time you pass. Many runners even bring a cheer crew to help hand out fuel and keep the motivation high throughout the race.

    To maintain the best possible experience, this is intentionally a small, focused event, capped at just 75 participants.

    We will have a great race shirt and finisher medals for all participants. Awards for both distances are in the usual 5-year age groups.

    Fast course, flexible support, and a chance to chase your goals—this is the race that lets you run your perfect day.

    By design this will be a smaller event, focused on getting you your fastest time.
