Miles for the Mission 5K
Join us for Union Gospel Mission’s biggest fundraiser of the year — the Miles for The Mission 5K Walk/Run!
This isn’t your average 5K. Each step represents the daily journey many of our guests face — walking miles across Duluth, often through snow and cold, in search of warmth, food, and hope. By walking or running alongside us, you’ll not only experience that journey firsthand, but also help change it for someone else.
Your participation directly supports the programs and services of Union Gospel Mission, providing meals, shelter, and care to those in need right here in our community.
The route begins at Leif Erikson Park and ends at Bent Paddle Brewing Company in Lincoln Park, where the celebration continues! Enjoy cold brews, hot coffee, a food truck, and a bucket-style silent auction — all in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

Support Our Mission
We are driven by a belief that everyone deserves food, shelter, and hope. We know that these fundamental supports give our guests the strength and belief needed to move toward a better tomorrow. We will not rest until every guest is rested, restored, and ready to realize their goals. If you share our belief and want to support our mission, please consider volunteering or making a donation to the Union Gospel Mission.
