Run for Resilience 5K Run/Walk - Mankato
The Run for Resilience is a charity 5K run/walk organized by the Student Nurses Association, Mankato. The event takes place at the MSU Fitness Trail, 798 Ellis Ave, Mankato, MN 56001, on September 19, 2026. One hundred percent of proceeds go to the Pinky Swear Foundation, a nonprofit that provides financial and emotional support to families with children battling cancer.
Funds are used to help families with everyday expenses such as housing, food, and transportation so caregivers can be present with their child without additional financial worry. Registration includes participation in the 5K, a free event T-shirt, and the opportunity to create an individual fundraising page through PledgeReg. Participants can share their personalized pages to raise additional funds; the top five individual fundraisers receive prizes at the event.
Sponsors contributing prizes include Planet Fitness, JP Fitness, Fitfor10, Bstark, and Sugar Suite. Prize packages range from gym memberships and fitness-related items to gift cards and merchandise. The event combines a community running activity with organized fundraising to support families affected by childhood cancer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
