A Taste of Mint!

Mint Restaurant will provide the pre-race pasta meal for all the carb loading Friday night. The cost of the meal will be $15 and will include a fantastic dining experience for all race participants and their family and friends.

Marathon Makeover and the race participants will be the FIRST to dine at Mint. Restaurant owner, Patrick Kelly, says he "is excited to introduce Mint to the public at such an exciting event." Mint will open about four weeks after the race but they will be there to feed the racers. Dining will be outside in the "Eurocurve" and under tents set up at the Renaissance.
