2022 Minnesota 5k SCADaddle©

Saturday, May 14, 2022

After a 2-year delay due to COVID, our 3rd annual Minnesota 5K SCADaddle© for Research fun run/walk took place on Saturday, May 14, 2022. It was a great success, raising thousands of dollars for much needed research. There were over 350 registered to attend in-person and 10 registered to participate virtually.

In-person participants included 44 survivors and 27 members of The Ruhberg’s Heart Beats On team who participated in memory of Dick Ruhberg. All participants received a SCADaddle© medal as they crossed the finish line at Battle Creek Regional Park, Maplewood MN.

Afterwards, participants enjoyed refreshments, kids’ activities, each other’s company and an opportunity to shop the SCAD store and other vendors. Thank you to all who joined in the festivities and helped to make this year’s SCADaddle such a success!
