Dave Huffman 5K Memorial Race
The third annual Dave Huffman 5K Race is rapidly approaching. The race
committee has been very busy planning every detail. There will be a lot of
advertising for the race. Race information has been distributed with flyers,
newspaper ads, and articles on the city's web page, raceberryjam.com, and
KFAN radio. Our goal this year is to have 450-500 runners.
I have had conversations with Mike Wegler, Street Superintendent and Dave
Potts, Chanhassen sergeant with the Carver County Sheriff's office. We are
going though all the safety details as it relates to the race route, street closures,
cone and sign placement, etc. Mike and Dave have been involved from the
races inception and they are doing a great job in coordinating their individual
assignments.
Many of the race components are the same as the first two years. Southwest
Metro Transit will provide the transport buses, every participant will receive a
long sleeve t-shirt and a goody bag filled with local business coupons and
trinkets.
This year' s race will feature a kid's fun run. The event is free and each
participant will receive a medal. Confirmed local celebrities will include Joe
Schmit, KSTP TV, Mike Morris, KFAN radio, Matt Blair, ex-Minnesota
Viking, hopefully Ragnar, Minnesota Viking's mascot, and a few Viking's
cheerleaders.
There is still much to do. Everybody on the race committee has been doing
their share of the work, which makes it nice. I look forward to providing
another quality community event for the residents of Chanhassen and
surrounding communities.
