Donate & Run!
Lefse Run
Get ready for the tastiest event of the season—it's the Lefse Run, brought to you by Duluth Running Co. and our neighbors at First Lutheran Church. Join us on Saturday, December 13th for a morning of running, community, and delicious lefse—all to support a great cause: Fundraising for Safe Haven!
This run is FREE! We suggest a donation to Safe Haven, which you can easily make when you sign up. When you do, you get to run and a piece of lefse when you finish.
We're also bringing back the Lefse Aid Station! Fuel up mid-run with a little extra lefse love—because who doesn’t want a boost of warm, goodness on the go? After the run, you can snag 3-piece packs of lefse ($10.00)—perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself!). Cash, credit/debit, and checks are all welcome.
Lace up your running shoes, bring your holiday spirit, and let’s make this a morning to remember!
