It was a mixture of youth and experience in the 42nd running of the Park Point 5-Mile Friday night in Duluth. Alec Olson , 19, of Excelsior, MN, won the men's race in 25:47, defeating three-time past champion Eric Hartmark, who placed second in 26:08. For the women, Duluth’s Katie McGee, 40, claimed the title with a time of 32:08. The victory was her sixth at the event.
A total of 457 runners and 38 walkers registered for the event with 406 finishing the 5-Mile ― northern Minnesota’s oldest road race. Youth races for children 14 and under accompanied the 5-mile run and two-mile walk. Net proceeds from the Park Point 5-Miler benefit the Young Athletes Foundation (YAF), a Grandma’s Marathon program focused on the promotion and development of youth athletics.
