Lefse Run

Race Info

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 14th for a morning packed with running, community, and delicious lefse—all to support a great cause: raising funds for Safe Haven!

And the best part? This run is FREE! We do suggest a $5 (or more) donation to Safe Haven, which you can easily make when you register. Your sign-up gets you access to the fun run and a piece of lefse when you finish.

This year, we’re adding a special treat: our first-ever 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 for just $10 each—perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself!). Cash, credit/debit, and checks are all welcome.

So, lace up your running shoes, bring your holiday spirit, and let’s make this a morning to remember!
