13,200 POUNDS of MAGAZINES!!!
We exceeded our goal!
This was the final outcome after the "big" drop-off on April 30th. All of this means ... $ 1320.00 for our team account.
THANK YOU to Tom & Lisa Krog, Peggy Giese, & Keith & Sam Johnson for loading, unloading, loading, unloading.... and to all who collected and dropped off magazines for our team. This fundraiser has been well received by many people and we'll fine tune things to keep it going!
Some (pre) summer planning is underway, and the details for the summer training program will be provided soon. In the meantime, check out this site: www.northlandrunner.com for lots of summer fun!
Up front though, are a few goals that you many want to put on your calendar.... get your teammates together, lace up your running shoes and get your bike tuned up!
The MIDNIGHT SUN RUN - Friday, June 22, at midnight. We are going to run this fun event, and we will take as many skier / runners as possible. Parents, siblings, everyone is welcome to join us! Register ASAP, as the race only takes 650 entries. Transportation details will follow in June. Here is the website: http://www.midnightsunmidnightrun.com/5k/Midnight_5K.html
Mesabi Bike Trail Tour - Sat. Aug. 4. Bike the fantastic Mesabi Trail! There are many starting points with distances ranging from 13-64 miles. If you haven't done this tour before you are missing out on one of the Range's best bike rides! Rest stops (many) with food / beverages, along with entertainment, kayaking, swimming are all on the route. At the end, a BBQ picnic and outdoor concert complete the day. Let's ride together! More info on this great outing can be found at: http://www.mesabitrail.com/great-river-energy.
Fisherman's Pt. 5K - Sat. July 28. You know the drill for this one. A fundraiser for our team, and another way to keep putting those miles in. Download some flyers and give them to your running buddy's, coaches, etc. Pin them up at school and around town. Discounted fee for our team members.
See you on the running/bike trails!
