This year's race was incredibly awesome. The weather was definitely on our side on race morning. We had over 550 registered racers this year, with our largest ever turnout of kids for the 1-mile race. The top finisher's results can be found here.
All in all, this year's race seemed to be our best race to date! The final bills are being paid for the race and with this year's sponsorship and race registrations, we have raised $15,000 in proceeds. All of which stay right here in our community providing relief to families whose newborn babies have medical conditions serious enough to admit them into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Terrebonne General Medical Center.
Special thanks to Buquet Distributing, Sonoco, Pepper's Pizzeria & TGMC for all of the refreshing beverages they provided for the Super Cooper race. Also, thanks go out to all of our sponsors (listed at the bottom of this page), including those who were on site on race day (listed below):

In addition, Bouncing Around will be on site with a Rock Wall for all to enjoy. Brooke, with Brooke's Sno-N-Go, will also have her mobile Snoball Stand to serve free Snoballs for everyone. And rumor has it Dalton Leblanc with State Farm will have his new life sized bear mascot on hand.
A reminder that only preregistered racers are guaranteed a race shirt, which will have a new look to the Super Cooper logo this year. Racers who register on race day will be issued shirts based upon availability. We do our best to have plenty of extra shirts on hand for race day, but we do recommend registering early to guarantee a shirt and to get the early entry discounted price.
