Funding research and support, stride by stride and side by side. Join the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota for our third annual Lupus Walk for Hope and 5K Run – Duluth.

The Lupus Foundation of Minnesota (LFM) has funded lupus research for over 35 years. This event, and other LFM fundraisers, allows us to provide grants to prominent researchers in the field of lupus research. A portion of event proceeds will also support efforts to increase public awareness of the disease throughout Minnesota and beyond. LFM works to improve the quality of life for people affected by lupus through support, training, education and resource referrals.

5K TRAIL RUN: (3.1 mile timed run)

$25 registration fee ($30 on event day)

The 5K is open to walkers or runners and will take you along the beautiful shoreline of Lake Superior on the paved Lakewalk of Duluth. Although this is a non-competitive 5K (and not a certified distance) times will be available to you onsite and posted on the Web following the event.

Registered participants receive a premier race shirt, race bib and timed results.

* The Lupus 5K is proud to be a member of the Explore Minnesota Challenge, which is a series of more than 25 races in four designated areas around the state of Minnesota, that encourages participation in various running, walking, biking and triathlon events. For more information or to register, visit the Explore Minnesota Challenge.
