Join us for Union Gospel Mission’s biggest fundraiser of the year — the Miles for The Mission 5K Walk/Run!
This isn’t your average 5K. Each step represents the daily journey many of our guests face — walking miles across Duluth, often through snow and cold, in search of warmth, food, and hope. By walking or running alongside us, you’ll not only experience that journey firsthand, but also help change it for someone else.
Your participation directly supports the programs and services of Union Gospel Mission, providing meals, shelter, and care to those in need right here in our community.
The route begins at Leif Erikson Park and ends at Bent Paddle Brewing Company in Lincoln Park, where the celebration continues! Enjoy cold brews, hot coffee, a food truck, and a bucket-style silent auction — all in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
Create a personal fundraising page when you register, and share your link with friends and family to multiply your impact. Every mile — and every dollar — makes a difference.
Let’s walk, run, and rally together — for The Mission.
