Fitgers 5k

Fitgers 5K gets underway this Saturday, April 23 and this year its full capacity will be a regular start to the race, but traffic needs to be diverted.

Organizers say the racecourse itself will also be more traditional than the past few years.

Zach Schneider Marketing & Public Relations Director for Grandma’s Marathon announced that the 2021 Fitgers 5K has reached 900 in-person participants and 200 virtual racers.

Grandma's Marathon and the Young Athletes Foundation made the announcement that the field of in-person runners increased from 500 to 900 people.

The rescheduled Fitger's 5K is this weekend and the Duluth Police Department has issued a traffic advisory related to the event.

This sounds like music to my ears. When they are blocking off traffic for a race. Some sort of normal coming back.

The pandemic won't stop Grandma's Marathon from hosting the Minnesota Mile and Fitger's 5K, with both events still taking place in September with two options.

In the wake of all that is going on in the Northland and the world, Grandma's Marathon has made a decision regarding the Fitger's 5K, which was scheduled for April 18.

Participate in 3 fun races and get a cool jacket on top of the gear you'll get from each race.

Registration for the 30th annual Fitger's 5K Run & Walk is going on now and to celebrate the anniversary year, they have special things planned.

Grandma's Marathon announced that registration is now open for all 2019 Young Athletes Foundation races, including the popular Fitger's 5k and KP Challenge.

New names on the leaderboard for the Fitgers 5k race. Nate Routhier took the Open Men's division. Ellen Smith was the first woman.
