Minnesota Running Community Has a Lot of Streakers

Wayzata's Dave Emmans was noted recently on social media as a "streaker."  Not the clothless kind, but rather some one who has run more than 5,000 days in a row.  Emmans, number 179 on the list, is hardly the only Minnesotan with a streak, however.  

A look at the Official USA Active Running Streak List the longest streak by a Minnesotan  is Stephen W. DeBoer, who has run every day for more than 45 years.  The 669 and last listing on today's compilation is USATF Treasurer Chris Kartschoke, who began his streak a bit over a year ago.

After finishing the Medtronic TC 1 Mile, defending champion Garrett Heath, on his way back to the van that held his sweats, saw a group of the kids from Cedar Riverside Community school.  Heath went over to the kids and they had a conversation about the race, about running, school, etc.  It was clear that Heath and the other runners that visited the school had made an impression. A bond of sorts  Both Heath and the kids had connected through the sport.
