Run for Mike

Join us for the 4th Annual Mike Elhard Memorial Run! If you knew Mike, you knew his large smile, love for running, and passion for baseball! Mike passed away while preparing to run the Chicago Marathon, a race he had waited years to run on September 13th, 2021. On Saturday, September 14th, 2024 we will gather at Staring Lake Park in Eden Prairie, MN to celebrate Mike. *Please note the location change this year!* Let's continue to show Kristi, Owen & Ethan our support and "Run for Mike!" 

All ages, walkers, strollers & scooters welcome!

Attending the run in-person is not required. Register to run virtually and participate from your hometown while sharing pictures on the “Run for Mike Elhard” Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/217716396919833/ 

Participants are encouraged to wear blue or your “Run for Mike” memorabilia.

This run is for fun and to show our continued support for Kristi, Owen & Ethan; the run will not be timed. All proceeds will go to the Eden Prairie Baseball Association, which provided immense support and joy to the Elhards and Best Christmas Ever (BCE), which blessed the Elhard family in their time of need. Kristi will be a BCE captain again this year, spreading joy to another family who has fallen on hard times of their own recently by surprising them with a Best Christmas Ever!

Thank you for loving Mike, Kristi, Owen & Ethan! 💙
