Run the 2025 City of Lakes Half Marathon

with Mile in My Shoes

Our signup for the 2025 Run Minnesota Jeff Winter City of Lakes Half Marathon—a double-loop of Lake Harriet and Bde Make Ska on September 7— is open! Back for the eighth year, Mile in My Shoes is proud to be the official charity partner of the 2025 City Of Lakes Half Marathon!

Ready to add meaning to your miles as you train for the City of Lakes Half Marathon? Look no further than the 2025 COL FundRacing Team! We’ve got the best swag in town to keep you looking sharp as you train and our FundRacing Coordinator, Rebecca, is here to provide dedicated support to make sure you hit your FundRacing goal of $500 and have a lot of FUN while doing it.

What is a FundRacer? FundRacers tap into their circles to raise critical funds for MiMS while training for a race. Because MiMS is a 501(c)3 organization that relies solely on donations, every FundRacer plays a crucial role in allowing MiMS to bring running to more people experiencing homelessness. By raising $500, you not only get FREE, guaranteed entry into this year’s City of Lakes Half Marathon, you score tons of goodies - including a 20% discount at City Running and our exclusive MiMS technical racing tee - along the way.
