The nonprofit MB 10K race, which traditionally donates its proceeds back to the community, has announced that it has given back more than $40,000 from the October 2023 run. All told, the race organization has given more than $750,000 back to the city in the last 46 years.
The total proceeds from the October 2023 race came to $41,285, which went toward the donation of the new par course exercise equipment on The Strand and 27th Street, as well as scholarships and other local projects.
"This
year we had our largest number of registrations in over 10 years,
including selling out the Wednesday prior to the race," race director Michael Weisberg told MB News. "Our mission is
simple: Put on a really fun race that brings people together, promotes
health and wellness, and supports local initiatives, charities, and
organizations."
