That’s a thousand more than the race’s previous record. The largest race was in Sioux Falls, while others were held in Aberdeen, Mitchell, Pierre, Yankton and Marshall, Minnesota. People from all over the country came out to support cancer patients. Each year, the funds raised go directly toward helping patients locally in the region.
