The University of Minnesota Crookston will host its first-ever Regal’s Run 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 26, 2025 to raise funds for the Camden & Maxwell Dean Memorial Scholarship. Regal’s Run is being organized by U of M Crookston’s Project Management class as a way to bring the community together for a meaningful cause.

The event will take place, rain or shine, with the 5K Run/Walk beginning at 10:30 a.m., followed by a Children’s Fun Run. A virtual 5K is also an option. Race day registration is now open at raceroster.com/events/2025/102841/regals-run. Entry fees are $34+ (including taxes and fees) for the Regal’s Run and virtual 5K, and $12+ for the Children’s Fun Run.

This fundraising event honors the lives of Camden (age 9) and Maxwell (age 19 months), sons of U of M Crookston alumni, who were tragically killed in a car accident on March 25, 2018. The young boys touched the hearts of many in their short time.
