Set your alarm to join us for the 6th annual Canning Hunger 5K and 2 Mile Walk.
The event includes a competitive 5K run (3.1 mile) and 2 mile community walk for hunger.
The event size may be limited so register early!

Two years ago we conducted one of the largest door to door food drives in the state.
This year we aim to gather at least 30,000 pounds of food for CROSS and CEAP food shelves
in Hennepin County. Save $5.00 off your entry fee by bringing a bag of food on race day!

This year's event will also benefit the Brent Doebbeling Foundation©.
Brent is a quadriplegic who will undergo experimental surgery.
His story has received coverage by KARE-11 and several newspapers.
The Brent Doebbeling Foundation© exists to help quadriplegics afford 
surgical or other procedures to regain movement and function.

We are also pleased to partner with Charities Challenge©, 
an organization that exists to support health-fitness charities;
and to help those affected by various medical conditions.
