Events that raise spirits and support.

Feel like a racing VIP for a day, Saturday, June 20, 2026.

In 2026, we are partnering with Canterbury Park to again make a life-changing impact on more than 500 children of color in the Twin Cities.

Children of racial and ethnic minorities have faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. They account for 65% of U.S. children who have lost a primary caregiver to this disease.1 They need mentoring to help stay on track with their education and personal development. When you buy a seat or table in the elegant Triple Crown Club room at Canterbury on June 21, or sponsor a race and a VIP event, you will enable many organizations Hurdles supports to carry on their critical missions.
