NEW THIS YEAR:
The Ramsey Community Foundation is dedicated to enriching our city through meaningful public art. We are currently fundraising towards a new art installation at the soon-to-come water play area; The Waterfront. It’ll be a space where families gather, children play and memories are made. Your support helps transform shared spaces into places of creativity, beauty, and connection for everyone in our community.
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.
