2010 Run 'Round the Rose 12 Mile Race Set for Saturday, July 24th!
We are excited to announce the date for this year's event. Especially since it will compliment an existing race held in Detroit Lakes the weekend before. Now, runners training for a later marathon can get two great weeks of back-to-back races while the rest of us can enjoy a scenic run through the countryside of Minnesota in mid-July while assisting the American Diabetes Association.
While this race isn't the largest by any stretch of the imagination, everyone who takes part in it, or helps, loves the course and praises the cause. There have been many repeat local runners and volunteers from 2008/2009 and the race has attracted athletes from as far away as MI, IL, CO and IA.
We hope to create a "Lake Country Series Award" this year by coordinating with at least two other local/regional 1/2 marathon or 10 mile races. Please check back with us to stay abreast of this possibility as it will add a greater level of accomplishment and competition.
Below are 2010 Pre-registration Race Forms and Pledge Forms which can be down-loaded.
As always, "Thank You" to the MN DOT, Ottertail County Sheriff's Posse, Vergas Volunteer Fire & Rescue Dept., Spanky's Stonehearth Restaurant, Lake Country Ham Radio Club, Vergas State Bank, Frazee-Vergas Forum Newspaper, local volunteers and other sponsors. This race could not happen without your help and support!
