If you are unable to pick up your Bib and Shirt ahead of time, you can pick it up Monday May 25, at Lake Nokomis Community Center from 7:00 to 8:15 AM

Due to unanticipated growth of the event, we've run out of most shirt sizes. We know that many of you had to select a shirt size that doesn't work for you.

Shirts from previous years may be available as well.

About Brian Kraft

Brian Kraft was an enthusiastic and talented runner from Bemidji, Minnesota. His running career was cut short at the age of 19 with the discovery of Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, in his back. Brian lived with cancer for 15 years, undergoing chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and countless surgical procedures.

Throughout the years, Brian continued to run. He ran the lakes and parkways and raced with the local running crowd. In spite of all that life threw his way, he kept a positive attitude. Brian attributed his strength in his fight against cancer to his love of running and to the work of his long-time friend, Dr. Arny Leonard.

Dr. Arnold S. Leonard and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota and the National Cancer Institute have made significant advances in cancer research in the last five years. They are working on a series of projects that reduces cancers of all kinds by boosting the central immune system by genetic engineering. This exciting new field of cancer therapy has great promise.

All donations submitted with race entries and a portion of the race proceeds will go to the University of Minnesota Foundation Masonic Cancer Center.

A special thanks to our sponsor this year -- Mill City Running!

Juneteenth is a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, recognizing the two-and-a-half-year gap between the Emancipation Proclamation and freedom reaching all people. It is a time to honor history, celebrate freedom, and work toward a more just future. In partnership with community organizations, the Loppet Foundation hosts the Annual Juneteenth Fun Run as part of its mission to connect people to the outdoors through inclusive, year-round activities in Theodore Wirth Park, providing skiing, biking, running, and outdoor education opportunities for all ages and abilities, including youth and neighboring communities.

Join SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education) for our annual Walk/Run around Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, MN on August 1, 2026. This event is not just about miles covered; it's about coming together as a community to support one another and raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

Whether you've personally struggled with suicidal ideation, lost a loved one to suicide, or simply want to show your support for those who have, this event is a powerful opportunity to connect with others who understand and empathize with your journey.

We are proud that with the generous partnership of our presenting sponsors TitleSmart and Executive Title, registration for this year's 5K/10K at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis is now FREE. Please spread the word with your networks and help us make this event an incredible success for the cause of suicide prevention! The first 500 registrants will receive a free T-shirt as a thank-you for your support.

The option to donate is available during registration, and all funds raised will be doubled by the Tosa Foundation!

Our 5k and 10k routes wind through the beautiful scenery of Lake Harriet, offering participants a chance to reflect, remember, and find solace in the shared experience of those around them. Every step taken is a step toward breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and fostering a community of understanding and compassion.

Together, we can make a difference. Join us at Lake Harriet for a day of unity, remembrance, and hope as we honor those we've lost, support those who are struggling, and work towards a future where no one feels alone in their battle against suicide.

Online donations and contributions at the race benefit SAVE in our mission to prevent suicide through training, education, advocacy, and supporting suicide loss survivors. Your support funds impactful programs like The Green Bandana Project, workplace suicide prevention training, and much more. Please visit save.org for more information.

Attendees will be able to share photos and written memories of loved ones lost to suicide at a memorial tent at the event.

We will provide art supplies that may be used to create messages or pictures in person.
