DULUTH FALL FESTIVAL
Plan now to join this year’s Duluth Donut Dash 5K race on Sunday, September 29, at 8 a.m. during the Duluth Fall Festival! This Peachtree Road Race qualifier includes a long sleeve shirt, chip timing, and concludes with delicious donuts and coffee from Dunkin for all runners, followed by an awards ceremony. As you run/walk through beautiful Downtown Duluth, you will also be supporting Wellroot Family Services. Wellroot’s programs try to keep families together, provide short-term foster care when needed, and nurture and educate young adults – all leading to happy, healthy families. Learn more about Wellroot and register at this link.
Come join the fun and the Duluth Fall Festival on September 28-29, rain or shine.
