The Mighty Fitz 5K

Please join us on Saturday November 6, 2021 for the 7th Annual Mighty Fitz 5K in Lewiston, New York to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the sinking of the Great Lakes freighter.

It was 46 years ago on November 10, 1975 when the Edmund Fitzgerald disappeared in the waters of Lake Superior during a severe storm, taking 29 lives with it. After 40+ years, the story of the ship continues to intrigue, with some saying its legend is second only to the Titanic.

START/FINISH
The race will start and finish in front of the Brickyard Pub & Restaurant using USATF Certified Course #NY11071JG. There will be one water station located at the top of Artpark Hill. Runners are expected to adhere to social distancing protocols before, during, and after the race. This means that when outdoors you must be wearing a mask OR keep a minimum of 6 feet distance between yourself and other persons. You do not have to wear a mask while running the race. Each participant will receive their own individual start time beginning with faster runners first to minimize contact and passing on the course.
