William A. Irvin 5K
The William A. Irvin 5K is a race held on Grandma's Marathon weekend in Duluth, Minnesota. The course is 3.1 miles long, starts and finishes near the historic William A. Irvin ore boat in Canal Park, and follows a city route described as a scenic tour. The course holds a USATF certification with code MN25012MAB.
Course services include one aid and water station located just before the 1.5 miles mark, toilets, and first aid. A marked medical tent is located inside Bayfront Festival Park near the finish area. The event is chip timed and results are managed by Mtec Results. Participants must wear a visible race bib pinned at all four corners; the bib contains a silver timing tag and should include emergency medical information.
Race logistics note a one hour time requirement for the 5K; participants who continue after the cutoff are asked to move to the sidewalk and do so at their own risk. Race packet pickup occurs at the Essentia Health Fitness Expo with specified pickup hours the days before the race. Finishers receive a medal and race shirts are distributed at packet pickup. A tearaway tag on the bib can be redeemed for a complimentary post race drink; an ID and event wristband are required to receive alcoholic beverages.
The event offers in person and virtual entry options and provides age division awards across multiple age groups including a non binary category. Awards are mailed to winners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
