Saturday, March 7, 2025 | 11:00 AM

The second annual Miles for the Mission 5K is an open-to-the-public fundraising and awareness event hosted by Union Gospel Mission, inviting the community to come together in compassion and solidarity.

Beginning at Leif Erickson Park and finishing at Bent Paddle Brewing Co. with a raffle and post-race gathering, this 5K represents the long and often cold, daily journey many unhoused neighbors make to access shelter and food.

Event Details:
~ Start: Leif Erickson Park
~ Finish: Bent Paddle Brewing Co.
~ Post-Race: Raffle and community gathering
~ Who Can Participate: Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities
~ Purpose: Raise critical funds and awareness for Union Gospel Mission’s essential programs

Held during one of Duluth’s coldest month, this event is more than a race, it’s an opportunity to walk or run with purpose, stand alongside those facing homelessness, and make a meaningful local impact.

Move together. Fuel the mission. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤️🤝

Shagawa Shorty and the Greenstone Gals came together almost by accident. Shorty met Julie at a jam session at a friend’s house and they began playing together so Julie could learn the bass and Shorty could play tunes outside of his typical blues repertoire.

Not long after, Shorty saw Aurora perform with her sister at a local open mic. He was instantly smitten by her voice and said to himself “I wanna be that gal’s band!” So several weeks later, with consent from Julie, Shorty summoned his (admittedly minimal) courage and asked Aurora to play with them. (A seventy year old geezer approaching a much younger woman can always seem a bit questionable, but intentions were honorable!)

Fortunately she said yes and Shorty and the Greenstone Gals were
born. Their eclectic repertoire includes blues, folk, contemporary songwriters, Americana, Gospel, and anything else they feel like playing. The best term they have been able to describe what they play is simply “American Music.” Their performances contain all of these elements; powerful tunes driven by Aurora’s amazing voice, deep blues featuring Shorty’s slide playing, and some songs needed for our times, all anchored by Julie’s steady bass.

Shorty and the Gals will soon be playing in your neighborhood. Go see
them to raise your pulse, warm your heart and sooth your soul.

Peat Boggs is an eclectic quartet that plays an organic blend of groove, jazz, and twisted folk, shifting easily from smooth melodies to hints of doom and surf rock. Cole Webster shapes the band’s sound with gritty, expressive guitar. Ben Wagener holds down the low end with melodic, wigglin' bass lines. Chris Shea drives the groove on drums and all things rhythm. Charlie French delivers murky yet reflective lyricism that weaves seamlessly through the band’s lush arrangements.

Special guest Pink Marlena will opening the show in celebration of Peat Boggs' album release!

Makwawigwamikwe Marlena Boedigheimer was born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota and is a member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. She began playing the tenor saxophone at age 14, inspired after hearing the instrument sampled on Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s “T.R.O.Y”.

Marlena is primarily focused on making music that embodies concepts of Indigenous Futurism through what many would recognize as “free jazz”. Her projects center around the use of the Ojibwe language, Anishinaabemowin, as well as stories from her relatives and ancestors, aiming to raise awareness of the history of her people and the contemporary Ojibwe world. She has performed and recorded with Mato Wayuhi, The Tewa, and other contemporary Indigenous artists across a variety of genres.
