Get ready for Homeward Bound’s 21st Annual
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.
Make Your Miles Matter
Made in the Shade has always been about bringing our community together while raising funds that make a difference in the everyday lives of the people we support.
Support a Home You Love
Families, friends, staff, and supporters are encouraged to raise funds for the Homeward Bound home they have a personal connection to.
These Made in the Shade dollars stay connected to that specific home, giving each house the opportunity to fund the things that make life fuller—from outings and activities to special purchases, experiences, and enhancements to the place residents call home.
When you make your gift, simply designate the Homeward Bound home you would like your donation to support.
Help Make Adventure Possible for Everyone
This year, we’re also asking our community to consider an additional gift to the Adventure Club.
Adventure Club was created to help make recreation, travel, outings, and new experiences more accessible to every Homeward Bound resident. Your support helps remove the extra barriers that can make these opportunities difficult—from transportation and staffing needs to accessibility and the added costs of getting out into the community.
Together, these two efforts allow you to support the home and people closest to you while also helping create more opportunities for adventure across Homeward Bound.
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.
