4th Annual Apple Kid Duathlon!!
The Apple Kids popularity continues to grow as the word of this fun challenge spreads across central Minnesota. In its 3rd year, the race drew 160 participants! In 2008 we hope to reach 200+ young athletes. Why? Because this race is all about motivating kids to be active and have some fun! And then, of course, there are goodies: chip timing, a cool T-shirt, post-race fruit and drink, awesome awards, door prizes, and more! This years event will use a different course but will include the same distances as last year. And it will utilize the same top-notch organizing committee, venue, sponsors, and loyal volunteers to provide a well-organized, fun, and safe race!!!
