The Race for ChildRUN 2026

The Race for ChildRUN is a Minneapolis charity run centered at Gold Medal Park and the Guthrie Theater, with courses along the Mississippi River. It provides 3 Mile, 5 Mile, and 10 Mile distances, plus a 0.30-mile Kids Run for children aged 10 and under. The longer races begin in the morning, followed by the Kids Run and then the 3 Mile Run/Walk, allowing families and runners of various abilities to participate in the same event. The Minneapolis race benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities Upper Midwest, generating over $50,000 annually to assist children and families needing temporary housing during difficult times. It is part of RBC Race for the Kids, a global initiative supporting youth. Parents may accompany their children in the Kids Run, and afterward, kids can enjoy games and win prizes in the race village. Registration includes a performance shirt and a finisher medal.
