Your Pace or Mine Running Club announced at the beginning of the month that the 2025 Memory Mile resulted in $12,550 in donations to the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota. The one-mile, chip-timed run/walk was held June 21, 2025, in Memorial Park in Dundas. Race registration fees, corporate sponsorships, raffle sales and cash donations contributed to the collective total donated. 

The 4th annual event was hosted by Your Pace or Mine Running Club, and presented by Northfield Retirement Center by Vivie, and Three Links Health Services. Additional donations are still being accepted at www.memorymile.org.

Several raffle prizes and race-winning cash prizes were given out. Raffle prizes were donated by Rebound Partners, Reunion, Legacy Golf and the Dundas Dukes.

Your Pace or Mine Running Club is a member of the Road Runner’s Club of America and a nonprofit under RRCA’s group exemption. The club hosts weekly meet-up runs in the Northfield and Lakeville areas. In addition, the club produces the Memory Mile as part of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Longest Day campaign each June, and the Mill Towns Race Series, with a 10K, half marathon and marathon, each fall, in support of Project Purple, which funds pancreatic cancer research and patient aid.
