Race results are in from the Fitgers 5k and NCT Races. Upcoming races include a road race in Hibbing – Victory 5k, and the NMTC Spring Trail Race Series. Check out NMTC Spring Series web page for the new race schedule, which has changed from 2025. Trails in Duluth are officially closed – check websites like the City of Duluth , Superior Hiking Trail Association , and COGGS (Cyclists of Gitchee Gumee Shores) for updates on official trail closures and conditions. Make sure to catch our Coach’s Corner segment as Tony discusses the accumulation of mileage and how to manage fatigue. This is a timely subject as many local Twin Ports runners are loading up for Grandma’s Marathon in a few months.
