We made an executive decision regarding this year's race...
Last year we had really awesome event shirts that were very well received. We love seeing them around today! We wanted to keep that spirit alive with a cool design for this year, and hopefully offer another useful piece of kit...but, a t-shirt has been done.
Now what?
We knew color and design were important elements to us, and we wanted to do even more of that. We also wanted to give you something that you could take and use anywhere. So, we chose to go with buffs for this year's event swag!
Not only are these things AWESOME!!! But, they also save us over $1,000 in costs compared to the t-shirts, which will be less sponsor funds needed for event costs, and therefore more donated!
Here's a sneak peak!
We hope you like!

Registrations are coming in like never before!
Be a part of this force of good!
All registrations and giving goes to the Kids Cancer Fund at Children’s Minnesota.
What does this fund do?
The Kids Cancer Fund helps cover all of the pieces of life that start to fall off when a child undergoes cancer treatment: Gas in the tank, food on the table, Christmas presents, birthday presents, lodging, transport, and when it’s time…chemotherapy graduation parties.
Come out and have a wonderful time sharing a unique experience with people like you, and know that you’re helping support families experiencing the most difficult times of their lives.
Give generously and inspire others to do so, too!
