Dave Huffman 5K Memorial Race
The second annual Dave Huffman 5K race was held this past Saturday,
September 15 and was again a successful event. The final numbers of
registered runners was 331, which was approximately 100 more than last year.
This year, the Minnesota Vikings became involved. They arranged
advertising; prize giveaways; and appearances by Leo Lewis, a former
Viking; Ragner, the Viking mascot; and the Viking cheerleaders who ran in
the race. Another addition this year was Joe Schmit, Sports Director from
KSTP-TV, who presented the awards and prizes to the winners. His upbeat,
humorous delivery was a great addition and I hope he will participate again
next year.
As you know, the race committee has been working on all race details. This
persistence paid off again with little to no problems occurring. As we gather
feedback from volunteers and participants, we will need to tweak a few things
with the route and other areas. Overall, many positive comments were heard
regarding the route, organization, t-shirts, and the event. The race committee
can be very proud of the success of this event. We will be meeting as a
committee to evaluate the event this week or early next week. I will give the
Park and Recreation Commission more of an update following that meeting.
