Her husband, Justin Grunewald, posted on Instagram that the run will take place after the funeral and procession to Washburn-McReavy Hillside Cemetery.

"Dress formal for the funeral," Justine Grunewald wrote in the post. "People can change clothes while family and close friends attend internment."

After the short run, which will be about a mile, there'll be an event to celebrate Gabe's life at Insight Brewing in Northeast Minneapolis.

Gabe died Tuesday night in her home in Minneapolis after a decade-long battle with cancer. She was 32.
