Cancellation Notice for 2026 Race (June 13th Portage, Indiana)

Runners, Walkers, Warriors, Friends, Volunteers, and all our Amazing Friends,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of the 5th Annual MS Warrior Dash. Due to personal and medical challenges, we are unable to give this event the time and care it deserves in 2026. 
 
Over the past four years, this event has become something truly special because of the people who showed up—participants, volunteers, and supporters who made it more than just a race.
 
While we won’t be hosting the dash this year, we would love to gather and celebrate everything we’ve built together. Please join us at the park from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for a relaxed picnic. We’ll provide hot dogs (including vegan options), and you’re welcome to bring a dish to share.
 
Please RSVP using the "Contact Form" below or drop an email to: mike@knopp87.com 
 
The trails and volleyball courts will be open for anyone who wants to enjoy a run or a game. This will be an informal gathering, so there will be no race-day elements like shirts, medals, or course markings.

Timer Mike @ Ronin Race Timing would be happy to bring our race arch and timing equipment for an 'open' start/finish for a few hours. TBD pending interest. Let us know! Please note that all trails will be unsupported and unmarked. This will be a DIY option. 
 
Thank you for being part of this journey and for making the MS Warrior Dash such a meaningful experience over the years. We hope to see you there as we celebrate the community that made it all possible.
 
We very much hope to continue the MSWD race series in the near future after a bit of healing and recovery. 
 
With love and kindness,

- Steph, Kelly, and Michael @ MS Warrior Dash 🧡 🤗 🧡
