The Mighty Fitz 5K

During Covid there is a very real possibility that we will need to make modifications for the safety of runners, staff, and the community at large. These modifications may include curbside checkin, individual start times, limited number of total participants, limited or no access to indoor dining at the Brickyard Pub & BBQ, limited or no post race awards ceremony, etc. In addition, we reserve the right to convert this event to a virtual run. For example, if NY State should slip back into Phase 2 or 3 or if Niagara County has a spike in Covid cases. In the event that the race is converted to a virtual run, participants will run on their own, enter their finish time, and we will arrange a date(s) for shirt pickup, etc. Thanks for your support and we hope to see you in November!

Please join us on Saturday November 7, 2020 for the 6th Annual Mighty Fitz 5K in Lewiston, New York to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the sinking of the Great Lakes freighter.

It was 45 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 and the all new Brickyard Brewing Company using USATF Certified Course #NY11071JG. There will be one water station located at the top of Artpark Hill.
