Check Out the Bonfield Express 5K Shirt!

Find out who won our "Guess the Color" contest. Winner gets a $25 Caribou gift card!

If you guessed that the Bonfield Express 5K shirt would be grey, you were right. 

Patch user Aggie Maj, that's you! You correctly guessed the color of the shirt, so you're the lucky recipient of a $25 gift card to Caribou Coffee (courtesy of the fine folks at the Bonfield Express Foundation). We'll have your gift card at packet pick-up Saturday, Nov. 23—so be sure to look for me, your Patch Editor Lauren Traut. I'll be handing out coffee in a Patch t-shirt!
