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.
