This was a very small race/run, but always a great way to kick off the new year. Of course it is always cold in Minnesota in January but this day was extremely cold real temp – 9 and real feel in the negative 20s! The course is simple, twice around to make it slightly over a 5k, there are some hills to contend with and on this day against the sub zero wind. Finally this year there was a medal and a pretty one, very festive for the new year. You could pay extra to get an athletic bag as part of the swag if you needed more than the medal. Donuts at the end were delicious!! Since this is in my town I will do it again. But if you need more competition and/or swag this would not be the race for you.
