About the race
Run for Resilience 5K Run/Walk is a fundraising event organized by the Mankato Student Nurses Association on September 19, 2026. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the Pinky Swear Foundation, a children's cancer nonprofit that provides financial and emotional support to families with children battling cancer.
The event is scheduled at the MSU Fitness Trail, 798 Ellis Ave, Mankato, MN 56001. The course is presented as a 5K run or walk and is listed as a community fundraiser rather than a competitive race.
Registration includes participation in the 5K, a free event T-shirt, and the creation of an individual fundraising page through PledgeReg. After registering, participants are directed to set up a personalized fundraising page to share with family, friends, and social networks to raise additional funds. The top two individual fundraisers will receive a prize at the event.
Funds raised help families with everyday expenses such as housing, food, and transportation so they can remain present with a child undergoing cancer treatment. The event description emphasizes fundraising and peer-to-peer support as core aspects of the Run for Resilience 5K Run/Walk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
