10th Annual Living the Dream Joe Plant 5K Run/Walk...

• 5K Run / Walk:- Run 3.1 Miles

NEW in 2017 - Team Registration to run/walk in honor of a loved one or in support of a unique cause. Team names will be printed on the back of the race t-shirts.  

This event is a special occasion to be inspired every step of the way by Joe's commitment to strength and endurance, his love of life and service to others. Joe was famous for saying he was just "Living the Dream", and achieved his dream of becoming a St. Paul Police Officer shortly before passing away suddenly in January 2008.

The Joe Plant Memorial Run/Walk supports Joe’s avid love of running, with a portion of the financial proceeds benefitting those whose goal it is to serve their communities through a scholarship fund at St. Cloud State University for students in the Criminal Justice Program. More recently, the mission has expanded to also support Parent Heart Watch, dedicated to eliminating preventable deaths in youth from sudden cardiac arrest.  The memorial fund supports Parent Heart Watch at the national level, and we are in the process of identifying a community recipient of an AED.
