Miles for Minds

Lace up your shoes for the inaugural Miles for Minds 5K Run/Walk, set to take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in the scenic "Coulee Region" of La Crosse, WI. This new event offers a fantastic opportunity for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to come together for a meaningful cause. Expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 53°F and lows near 35°F, accompanied by a modest 16% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

Hosted by Kappa Delta Pi, the Miles for Minds 5K is more than just a race; it's a community effort dedicated to supporting the La Crosse Area School District's Special Education program.
