Sartell Apple Duathlon Board
The 2015 Sartell Apple Duathlon took place on May 22-23, 2015 and was a great success! We couldn’t have done it without our many partners in the city and local community.
We extend our thanks to the city of Sartell, to Mayor Sarah Jane Nicoll, City Administrator Mary Degiovanni, and the Sartell City Council. Karen Atkinson, facilities scheduler for the Sartell-St. Stephen School District, helped us navigate two race venues, Pine Meadow Elementary and Sartell Middle School. Mark Hedstrom, custodian at Sartell Middle School, helped us with organization and set-up at that location. The Sartell Police Department, especially Sgt. Kelly Mader, and Sartell Reserve Police Officer Todd Ackerman, and the Stearns County Sheriff provided traffic control, made sure all the athletes were safe, and the road closure went smoothly. Thanks to Sartell Public Works, especially Director Brad Borders and Assistant Director John Kothenbeutel, for managing our equipment, cleaning the roads, and providing extra equipment.
Special thanks to all volunteers who made sure participants were safe, had fun and were encouraged along the way. To the parents who brought kids to the race, you are teaching them the importance of fitness, health and sportsmanship.
Last but not least, we are grateful to our generous sponsors and supporters, including Williams Integracare Clinic; Sartell Pediatrics; Sartell House of Pizza; Globe Builders; St. Cloud Subaru; JK Self Storage; Bernick’s; Dahlin Development; Nemeth Orthodontics; Rinke Noonan Attorneys; Pinecone Vision Center; Granite Equity Partners; Heartland Glass; MN Computer Systems Inc.; Sartell Fitness; Revolution Cycle and Ski; Steve Diamond Photography; Great River Bowl & Partner’s Pub; Marco Inc; HED Cycling; Bicycle Fit Guru; Blue Line Sports Bar and Grill; Miller, Welle, and Heiser CPAs; Back to Balance Massage; Dutch Maid Bakery; Grand Stay Residential Suites, and Geyer Signal Inc.
There are simply too many people to thank by name! This is a local community event and it is community collaboration that made the 33rd Sartell Apple Duathlon so successful.
