2nd Annual Rack Race and Melon Meander

The race was spectacular!! Great weather, awesome participants/supporters and wonderful volunteers that helped with the event!! We are blessed to live in a wonderful community where people reach out and support each other!! We had approximately 146 runners/walkers and many kids as well. Dave Quie from St. Paul took 1st place for the men in 19 minutes 53 seconds and Shelly Ritz from Cannon Falls took 1st place for the women in 26 minutes and 11 seconds. Ryan Epps from Cannon Falls was the first youth runner to come across the finish line. We made over 1400 dollars! Thanks again to all participants and sponsors. Special thanks again to the 24 Hour Workout Center for being our main sponsor and Mill Street Tavern for helping host the event.
