2026 Lance Pfrimmer Memorial Run

The 2026 Lance Pfrimmer Memorial Run and Walk returns to Rochester, Minnesota on August 15th, bringing together runners and walkers in memory of a beloved community member.
Participants will gather at Eagle's Aerie #2228 (917 15th Ave SE) for the event. The atmosphere is one of quiet reflection and camaraderie, as friends and family honor Lance Pfrimmer’s spirit through this annual gathering. This year marks its third anniversary, continuing to support students who have shown a passion for track and field or cross country running in high school.
The 8K Run and the 1 Mile Walk are designed to accommodate all skill levels and ages, with every step taken on the course paving the way toward raising funds for the Lance Pfrimmer Memorial Scholarship. The race will start and end at Eagle's Aerie #2228, making it a familiar landmark for both participants and spectators.
For those opting in, there’s an 8K Run covering approximately 5 miles (8km) and a 1 Mile Walk suitable for all ages. Both distances ensure that runners can lace up their shoes and take part without the pressure of high-intensity competition. The race registration fee is set at $23.39 with no shirt provided, but participants may opt to purchase one before July.
The course layout will feature a variety of terrains typical for urban areas—pavements and pathways that wind through Rochester’s parks and neighborhoods. Participants can expect to see the city skyline and its landmarks as they run or walk along 15th Avenue SE. The race includes post-run refreshments, food and beverages from Eagle's Club, and a silent auction.
The weather on August 15th is expected to be mild with an average temperature of around 21.6°C (70.9°F), feeling similar due to low humidity at 74.9%. The day will likely see some wind speeds averaging 11.2 km/h, which may make for a brisk run but nothing too challenging.
