Juneteenth Fun Run

Join us for our Juneteenth Fun Run on Saturday, June 14! All are welcome to participate in the 5K or half mile run that honors beloved North Minneapolis figure Coach Mike “Talley” Tate – Community Leader & Mentor.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth recognizes that it took two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation for all enslaved people to be freed. Celebrating Juneteenth allows us to recognize our history, enjoy the present and build for the future. We celebrate freedom, and together we claim a better tomorrow. In partnership with community and community organizations, the Loppet brings you the Annual Juneteenth Fun Run.

Thank to our Community Partners UROC, NRRC, Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church and Mckinley Community Neighborhood Association.
