Event summary
Join us on Saturday, August 15, 2026, in Baxter, Crow Wing, for the inspiring Walk-A-Mile-In-Her-Shoes: Stilettos and Strides 5K! This uplifting event aims to unite our community in support of survivors of sexual assault, sending a powerful message that they are seen, believed, and never alone. This year, we're thrilled to introduce a professionally timed 5K run through the scenic trails of the Northland Arboretum, catering to the community's desire for a competitive running experience.
The 5K is a unique opportunity to not only challenge yourself but also contribute to a vital cause, as registration fees directly support Sexual Assault Services, a local nonprofit providing essential, confidential support to those affected by sexual violence. Following the run, participants are invited to join the signature Walk-A-Mile-In-Her-Shoes event at 10:30 a.m., where you can literally step into the shoes of survivors with a variety of high heels available for participants. Enjoy an engaging day filled with family-friendly activities, a silent auction, and a chance to connect with the community. Whether you choose to run, walk, or simply support, come out and be part of this meaningful
