Here Are The Details http://kkcb.com/how-will-fitgers-5k-impact-traffic-saturday-morning-here-are-the-details/ http://kkcb.com/how-will-fitgers-5k-impact-traffic-saturday-morning-here-are-the-details/#comments Fri, 20 Apr 2012 06:39:32 +0000 David Drew http://kkcb.com/?p=64115 Saturday, April 21st is the 23rd annual Fitgers 5k in downtown Duluth.  This year there are a record 1,848 registered participants set to run and walk in the morning race.  The Fitgers 5k is one of the first spring road races in the Northland, and a race I enjoy running in despite the hills of the bridge over the freeway.  This race is also the largest fundraising event for the Young Athletes Foundation, a Grandma's Marathon program focused on the promotion and development of youth athletics in a five-county region.

The race starts at 9am at Fitgers, 600 East Superior Street, where it will also finish.  Expect traffic delays from 8:30am to to 10am along the race course.
