Juneteenth Fun Run

The Juneteenth Fun Run takes place on June 20, 2026, at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis. The event is presented by the Loppet Foundation in partnership with community organizations and is held as an annual observance tied to the Juneteenth federal holiday, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and the delay between the Emancipation Proclamation and the arrival of freedom for all.

The event welcomes participants to run either a 5K or a shorter course for children. Registration for the listed events is provided without a registration fee and registration opens on January 1, 2026 and closes on June 20, 2026. The Loppet Foundation describes this activity as part of its mission to connect people to the outdoors through inclusive, year round programs that include skiing, biking, running, and outdoor education for youth and neighboring communities.
