MEMORANDUM

SUB J:
Dave Huffman 5K Memorial Race
The fifth annual Dave Huffman 5K Race is rapidly approaching. The :'ace
committee has been very busy planning every detail. Race information has
been distributed with flyers, newspaper ads, and articles on the city's web
page, raceberrxjam.com, and KFAN radio. Our goal this year is to have 400-
450 runners.
I have had conversations with Mike Wegler, Street Superintendent and Jim
Olson, Chanhassen sergeant with the Carver County Sheriff's office. We are
going though all the safety details as it :'elates to thc race route, street closures,
cone and sign placement, etc. Mike and Jim have been involved with the race
and are doing a great job in coordinating their individual assignments.
Many of the race components are the same as the first four 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 the kid's fun run. Again, the event is free and
each participant will receive a medal and a goodie bag. Our goal is to have 75
kids participate. Confirmed local celebrities will include Mike Morris, KFAN
radio, Leo Lewis, ex-Minnesota Viking, 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 fo:' the residents of Chanhassen and
surrounding communities.
