NEW THIS YEAR:

Ramsey Community Foundation as official Nonprofit Partner

Ramsey Community Foundation supports projects that strengthen Ramsey when tax dollars aren’t available. For nearly 20 years, the foundation has partnered with residents, local organizations, and the City to help fund initiatives that create a lasting community impact. Many residents may recognize the Foundation's role in launching the Concerts at The Draw, early community garden efforts, and Heart Safe Ramsey.

Looking ahead, the Foundation is expanding its focus to support community art initiatives and is partnering with Parks and Recreation to help launch Ramsey’s new Farmers Market this summer.

Funds raised through this 5K help support these efforts and invest directly back into projects that benefit our community. During registration, runners may choose to fundraise on behalf of the Ramsey Community Foundation or make an optional one-time donation. Participation in the race does not require fundraising or a donation.
