Benefiting the Loan Repayment Assistance Program of Minnesota

11:00 am 5K Race Start
10:30 am Kids Dash Start
The University of Minnesota Law School is excited to sponsor the 6th Annual Race for Justice 5K Fun Run and Walk, on Sunday, April 13, 2008. Starting from historic Island, dipping into downtown, and winding its way back across the Stone Arch Bridge, the Race for Justice celebrates the advent of Spring and serves as the University of Minnesota Law School’s largest public interest fundraiser. As in past years, proceeds from the 6th Annual Race will benefit law graduates through the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) of Minnesota. By subsidizing education debts for dedicated, low-paid public interest attorneys, LRAP helps meet the legal needs of low-income Minnesotans across the state.
Scheduled to coincide with the University of Minnesota Law Alumni Weekend, the 6th Annual Race for Justice promises to be the largest yet. Since its inception in 2002, the Race has expanded into a favorite annual activity for members of Minnesota’s legal community and beyond. This past April, over 1,000 participants and donors helped raise over $20,000 in registration fees and donations for LRAP.
