It was a gorgeous day for a run at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis! And who better than 2009 World Champion marathoner Kara Goucher to signal the start of the Live Earth Run for Water Minneapolis!?! To nobody's surprise, Kara was also the first to finish the 6K run/walk.

Following the race, participants were treated to a live performance by Estelle and Paris Bennett.
