Thank You, Twin Cities!​

The 2025 Unified 5K at Lake Phalen was an unforgettable celebration of inclusion and community. Whether you ran,
walked, rolled, volunteered, sponsored, or cheered, you helped make this day truly special. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors and vendors. Without you, our inaugural race in Twin Cities would not have happened.

We can’t wait to see you at the starting line in 2026!

Robert Carter

Race Director
Originally from Lancaster, MA, Robert Carter has long been passionate about running and inclusion. He spent a significant amount of time through high school at Unified Health and Performance, supporting athletes with disabilities in the gym. Robbie graduated from Arcadia University in May 2023, where he competed in sprints and jumps. After graduating, Robbie moved to the Twin Cities for work, where he now serves as a Territory Manager for Mizuno Running, covering six states and spending most of his time talking about two things he loves, shoes and running. His most impressive accomplishment? Running (and medaling) in the first-ever Unified 5K. Now, he’s excited to bring that same inclusive and empowering experience to Saint Paul, ensuring that runners of all abilities can share in the joy of movement and competition.
