Lace up for the annual Juneteenth Fun Run on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the vibrant city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This inspiring event, hosted by The Loppet Foundation in partnership with local community organizations, offers a 5K distance and a Kids Half Mile run, serving as a powerful celebration of freedom and a time to honor history. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 80°F and lows near 60°F, along with a 16% chance of precipitation, making for a potentially warm but enjoyable morning.

The Juneteenth Fun Run course winds through the picturesque Theodore Wirth Park, beginning and ending at The Trailhead (1221 Theodore Wirth Parkway). Runners will enjoy a flat, paved, and stroller-friendly path, making it accessible for all ages and abilities to experience the beautiful scenery of Wirth Park. While the event is untimed, a clock will be running for those who wish to track their performance, fostering an inclusive atmosphere for both casual participants and goal-oriented runners.

More than just a race, the Juneteenth Fun Run is a profound community celebration dedicated to recognizing the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and working towards a more just future. It's an opportunity to connect with the outdoors and join a larger movement of remembrance and progress, all within the supportive and energetic environment of Theodore Wirth Park. Join fellow runners and community members for this uplifting experience that champions healthy living and togetherness.
