The weather was wonderful for the folks that started off Saturday of Rendezvous Days with a brisk walk. The Rendezvous Days Walk Run, sponsored by the Grand Portage Health Clinic, had 418 participants.

The number is down slightly from 438 in 2011, however, it is up overall, from its inaugural run walk in 2006 which had 314 participants. It looked like everyone had a great time as there was lots of socializing and sight-seeing along the route.

All of the participants received a colorful Run Walk T-shirt designed by Sarah Smith.
