Run. Ride. Relief.

Run. Ride. Relief. is a MillerKnoll Foundation-sponsored run, walk, roll, and ride benefiting the MillerKnoll Global Associate Relief Fund. Taking place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at the scenic Marigold Lodge in Holland, Michigan, this event invites MillerKnoll associates and their families to come together for a day of movement, connection, and care.

Participants can choose from multiple ways to get involved, including a 1‑mile family fun run, 5K walk/run/roll, or 25K bike ride. For those who can’t join in person, virtual participation options are available so everyone can take part from wherever they are.

Proceeds from Run. Ride. Relief. support the MillerKnoll Global Associate Relief Fund, which provides immediate financial assistance to associates facing unforeseen disasters or personal hardships. To maximize impact, MillerKnoll Foundation will triple all donations made to the Associate Relief Fund from May 10–16, including donations made through event registration and on race day.

Run Ride Remember began in 2009, when a Herman Miller associate organized a bike ride in honor of a fellow associate who passed away from cancer. What started as a single ride quickly grew into an annual run, walk, and ride that brought hundreds of teammates and families together at Marigold for a day rooted in togetherness, remembrance, wellness, and community.

After six years away, this meaningful event is returning to the West Michigan MillerKnoll community in a new and exciting way—as Run. Ride. Relief.

About the MillerKnoll Global Associate Relief Fund

The MillerKnoll Global Associate Relief Fund was created to help eligible MillerKnoll associates who need immediate financial assistance following an unforeseen disaster or personal hardship. The Fund exists to ensure that support is available when associates face unexpected challenges that may create financial strain.

The Fund relies on the generosity of MillerKnoll, along with donations from associates and supporters, to provide grants to those in need. Every contribution—no matter the amount—helps make it possible to offer timely assistance when it matters most.

The MillerKnoll Global Associate Relief Fund is independently administered by Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF), a 501(c)(3) public charity. EAF manages all aspects of the Fund, including accepting donations, reviewing grant applications objectively, and awarding and distributing grants. To protect associate privacy, MillerKnoll does not have visibility into individual applications or grants unless an applicant chooses to share certain details under specific circumstances.

Through collective support, the Fund helps ensure MillerKnoll associates have access to financial relief during difficult times.
