About Mik
Mikayla was an extraordinary person. She involved herself in many activities such as hockey, soccer, 4H, band, and the list goes on. She also biked 50 miles in The Ride to End ALZ. One thing Mikayla loved and took much pride in was running. When she decided to run Grandma's Half Marathon in Duluth, she trained right up to the date. She smiled through all 13.1 miles. She was so dedicated to running and was always accomplishing new things. Her goal was to keep training and start running marathons. She wanted to qualify for the Boston Marathon one day. She was an extremely motivated person, an amazing friend, sister, daughter, and so much more. When she put her mind towards something, she would make it happen. For every 8-9 people that run Miles For Mik, it will add up to around one marathon. We hope that we all can honor her and her motivational self this July.
About Miles For Mik
This race was inspired by two of Mikayla's friends who were looking for a way to honor her. While Mikayla was involved in many things, she loved running. Miles for Mik is a 5K that we hope to see grow into something bigger as the years go on. This race is meant to be a fun way to get outside and be with people you love and care about. Whether you knew Mik, followed her story, or not, we would love for everyone and anyone to be a part of this day to keep her memory alive. Please feel welcome to walk, run, bike, or even scooter at this event; we want everyone to be a part of this wonderful day. Please do not participate with something motorized.
