  -- Jeff Erickson


"You guys have a great event, too bad there aren't more races like yours in the state. Thanks for everything you do. These races bring a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people. My girlfriend recently started running and it was her first race period and she had a blast regardless of the rain. Thanks again."
   -- Ethan Albertson


"Running the rain was actually fun! It was the shivering before and after that was a little miserable! This was the first time I did this race, and I think I'll do it again. It was very organized-- good job."

"First, I think you guys did an awesome job. Your team was so energetic and helpful. Given the weather, the turnout was really good. Every one I talked to really enjoyed it. Only in Minnesota.

I had a lot of fun and congratulate you on your efforts. When you go to a race that big and things are running smoothly, as a runner you know there was a lot of planning and behind the scenes work. You had flawless execution! Congratulations!"

  -- Ron Dockery


"Just a quick thank you note for the age group award. The shirts are really great - stylish, nice tasteful design without garish advertising and the wicking fabric is comfortable to run in - a very nice award!"
   -- Jerry Beutel

"I just started running a year ago and have run a few 5 Ks, an 8 K, a half marathon and this 10 K.  Of all of the races I have run, this has been the best-- from the transportation to the gorgeous route (and weather helped!).  After running this year, I decided to make it an annual event."
