Twin Cities Marathon Fever



I write this as the last Twin Cities marathoners are crossing the finish line, thinking, "Wow! What a tremendous accomplishment." Not only are each one of those runners' lives touched by such an awe-inspiring experience, but we neighborhood businesses get swept up in the emotional fervor surrounding such a momentous event as well! 

Here's to a great weekend of racing, culminating months (and even years) of training! Cork's was proud to host an all-you-can eat pasta buffet pre-race last night, and we're now peeking out to glimpse all the fanfare over on the capital grounds. 

A big congratulations to all of the finishers this weekend! For more information on the The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America, feel free to visit their website: http://www.mtcmarathon.org/


Also, if you're downtown for the race, feel free to stop in and celebrate! Cork's has $5 Bloody Marys all day and a build your own Bloody Mary Bar from 11am-4pm. 


Slainte!
