The Old Glory Run is a first time event held earlier this month that attracted over 700 racers from across the state running a 5k and 1K race in Cold Spring, Minnesota.   In this story, we meet Curt Karls, one of the race organizers, who tells us about how the race came to be.  We're also introduced to John Swanson, a military veteran who lost his leg in the war and is now running again on his artificial leg with his 8 year old son.  John was one of the key inspirations that brought the race idea to the forefront.  Finally, we also meet the group of men and women who ride motorcycles and carry US flags in support our soldiers and veterans. 

One special part of this story includes the start of the 1K race where 150 kids of all ages take off together from the starting line.  We even get a quick glimpse of the winning boy and girl crossing the finish line.

In this edition of the ROCORI “Weekly Update” you’ll get a chance to hear about the wonderful park systems that Rockville, Cold Spring, and Richmond have to offer.

In Rockville’s portion of the “Weekly Update,” Rena Weber and Jon Peck tell us about Eagle Park which is located off County Road 139 near downtown Rockville. The park is a work in progress and will continue to grow with the efforts of many volunteers.

Both Cold Spring and Richmond have a number of community parks that are open to the public as well as available for reservation. If you are interested in renting a shelter this summer call City Hall soon because the calendar fills quickly. As Memorial Day is approaching there is no better time to go out and enjoy the beautiful scenery local parks have to offer.
