WHY WE RACE?

Our great friend, coach and fierce athlete Erin McMahon Rock had a horrific bike accident on a gravel road during a bike race in Wausau, WI recently. Erin suffered multiple hip and pelvic fractures, face and head lacerations and credits her bike helmet with saving her life. She had to be air lifted to the hospital and spent days under the watchful care of nurses and doctors.  Erin has some significant (5 digit) medical bills and won't be able to work (self-employed coach) for 2-3 months.

We decided the best way to honor and help Erin & Damien would be to host a race!

You can run/walk in person at Coldstream Park, participate virtually, become a race sponsor, volunteer or make a donation online. We'll also have a FREE Kid's Dash so you can make it a family affair.  Let's ROCK this as a community for our good friends who have done so much for our running/multisport community her in Central KY and now in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.
