The iconic Fitger’s 5K has grown into one of the state’s premier spring races, offering a perfect challenge for runners of all ages and abilities while taking participants on a scenic tour of newly-renovated downtown Duluth.
This is the first of three races involved in the annual KP Challenge, in which participants commit to three races throughout the spring and summer. The other two are the Saint Fennessy 4K and Park Point 5-Miler & 2-Mile Walk, with the aim to help participants keep on a regular training schedule and consistently complete longer distance races.
Net proceeds from the event go to benefit the Young Athletes Foundation (YAF), the nonprofit arm of Grandma’s Marathon focused on helping the area’s youth develop healthy and active lifestyles. Since its inception in 1990, the YAF has donated more than $1.3 million to youth athletic and nonprofit organizations in a five-county region.
