Unity in Motion 5k Race

Lace up for an inspiring journey at the second annual Unity in Motion Race, returning on Saturday, May 9, 2026, to the scenic West Palmer Lake Park in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. This vibrant, community-focused event celebrates the resilience and diversity of Minnesota's communities through the spirit of healthy living, offering both a 5K (3.1M) and a 10K (6.2M) distance, along with the delightful CAPI-bara Crawl for younger participants aged 10 and under. Runners and walkers alike will enjoy beautifully maintained and picturesque trails that wind through the park, providing an engaging experience for all skill levels.

Beyond the personal challenge, the Unity in Motion Race is a powerful opportunity to make a difference, with proceeds directly supporting CAPI's vital work with Minnesota's immigrant and refugee population. The experience extends beyond the finish line into the lively "Unity Village," a post-race celebration featuring children's activities, live music, and diverse food options—a perfect setting to relax and connect with fellow participants. All participants receive free event t-shirts and finisher medals, with additional medals awarded to the top three finishers in each 5K and 10K category. Typical race day conditions in early May often feature comfortable highs around 67°F and lows near 45°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable run.
