SAVE THE DATE FOR THE 2026 MADE IN THE SHADE 5K – WALK, RUN, AND ROLL!

Join us for Made in the Shade 2026: 5K Walk, Run & Roll at Lake Bde Maka Ska on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

This annual event brings together individuals, families, staff, and community members for a morning of movement, connection, and fun—all in support of people with disabilities across the Twin Cities.

Whether you walk, run, or roll, this is a space for everyone. All abilities and ages are welcome.

Made in the Shade has always been about creating meaningful moments. Funds raised help support everyday experiences that bring joy—like attending community events, enjoying outings with friends, or enhancing the places people call home.

More details coming soon.

Get ready to lace up your sneakers—or roll along with us—for our 21st Made in the Shade 2026, an inclusive, joy-filled 5K that supports the vibrant lives of people with disabilities across the Twin Cities.

Check out the photos from last year, the energy around the foot of the lake is electric!
