The three- point one mile run is sponsored by the YMCA and the Greater Downtown Council.

Because its during the noon hour, organizers say it's a great way for co- workers to get out on their lunch hour, enjoy the day, get some exercise, and raise money for a good cause.

"This is our second year and we've doubled our size and we're just really proud to provide a race that's during the noon hour we have lots of downtown businesses participating," said Mark Hanna, Duluth YMCA Program Director.

This run is just one more event in the Duluth Sidewalk Days Festival.

The Northland's Newscenter's Laura Langemo and her mentee were among the runners taking part in today's race.
