About the Maxton Gudowski 5K Memorial run/walk
The race is held at Portman Park in Duluth's Lakeside neighborhood, an area that was meaningful to Maxton Gudowski, who spent years there and knew it well. Proceeds support nonprofits that carry forward his reputation for generosity. There is also a raffle on race day, with those funds directed to a separate cause.
The park sits in a residential neighborhood on the east side of the city, which gives the course a settled, familiar feel rather than a staged-event atmosphere. The race honors someone who ran these kinds of roads himself when he was younger.
