Virtual Participation in A Brighter Day 5K & Family Walk
We would love to see everyone join us in person for A Brighter Day 5K & Family Walk on June 14, 2025, but we understand that schedules don’t always align. That’s why we’re excited to offer a virtual participation option!
If you can’t make it to the in-person event, you can still be part of the fun by completing your 5K or Family Walk anytime between June 8–22, 2025—wherever you are! Simply run or walk at your own pace, record your time and fundraising efforts, and submit them to Children’s Law Center of Minnesota (CLC) to be included in the event. Please note, the family walk is not a timed event.
📢 Weather Contingency: In case of inclement weather on Saturday, June 14th, we will share an official announcement, and all participants will have the opportunity to complete the event virtually. The decision to cancel the in-person run and walk or not will be made by using our Inclement Weather Policy as a guideline.
