Final Stretch asks to you to take a minute and ask yourself what makes a race great. We believe that it is the quality of service that keeps racers coming back. With the backing of numerous cities including but not limited to the City of Mankato, City of Rochester, City of St. saying we put on a top notch race makes us feel that our runners are well taken care of. We embrace the idea that each run
ner is unique and each runner has a story of how they came to the start line and strive to ensure that their story has a happy ending. This means that we take pride in making sure that each water stop has plenty of water, cups and nutrition for the runners. We make sure that we coordinate with the police and traffic control to mitigate any motorists’ problems. Most of all, we make sure that when you cross that finish line, you can raise your hands and say, THIS WAS A GOOD DAY TO RUN!! If you are looking for a race, make sure you get answers to these questions before you sign up for a race. Not all race management companies are the same. Final Stretch takes pride in these quality issues. Anyone can offer cool giveaways (which we obviously have), but we also offer a great experience and a safe running environment... There is a difference!!
