2024 Z5K Fun Run & Walk

The ZKF’s fourth annual fundraiser and 5K fun Run & Walk was held on Saturday, July 13th, 2024 at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, MN. Along with the run we had a Bollywood dance warm up, musical performances, and two food trucks!

We had over 430 in-person and virtual participants sign-up! Our virtual runners represented ZKF across the country and ran their own Z5K in some beautiful and scenic locations! Through the Z5K ticket sales and sign-up donations, we raised over $29,000!

Shout-out to our musical performers: 

  • Barbara Bow: She kicked off our Post- Run Celebration with her fun country music and had folks up on their feet! You can find her on Spotify and Apple Music, and also on Instagram @barbara.barbara.bow.
  • Stuart D’Rozario: Stuart flew all the way from Los Angeles to play at the event and we are so happy he did! It was awesome to see the band back together and hear their fun hits. Stuart is working on his 5th album and his music can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.
  • Anju: Anju came from Boston, MA to perform to support ZKF. Anju’s work has been highlighted by NPR’s All Songs Considered, Rolling Stone India, and Minnesota Public Radio’s The Current. You can connect and follow her journey @anjutunes on social media and www.anjutunes.com. Anju’s music can be found on Spotify.
