Lace Up for Hope with The LandingMN 2026

Lace Up for Hope begins at Little Thistle Brewing in Rochester, Minnesota, offering a 5K run-or-walk and a separate 1 Mile walk. This fundraiser benefits The Landing MN, with all proceeds supporting their efforts for individuals experiencing homelessness in the community. Packet pickup and same-day registration occur in the morning prior to the 5K start at 9:00 AM, followed by the walk at 9:15 AM. Both courses are straightforward out-and-back routes, designed for runners, walkers, teams, and those wishing to support the cause. Team registration is included, featuring awards for the largest team and the top fundraising team. Participants receive a goody bag containing a Little Thistle drink token, a Flapdoodles ice cream scoop, and a TerraLoco gift card. Shirts can be purchased separately for a limited time.
