John Curley and Anna-Britta Helmer were the first across the finish line on Saturday, leading the way on a record-setting day at the 2024 Saint Fennessy 4K.

After setting a new registration record with 850 participants signed up, 721 of those crossed the finish line Saturday morning to set another record for the St. Patrick’s Day-themed event, now in its 11th year.

Duluth’s Curley won the event for the second time, finishing in a time of 12:18 that was the second-fastest in event history and nearly two minutes better than the runner-up Mark Goettel. Curley also won the event in 2022 and is the first two-time men’s winner in the event’s history.

Britta Helmer was the women’s winner, finishing in 16:31 and just one second ahead of last year’s winner, Sasha Wahman. After running together the entire race, the two friends celebrated their 1-2 finish with a cartwheel shortly after crossing the finish line.

Ammie O’Connor was the non-binary winner, finishing in a time of 27:32.

The old fellas at the café won’t need a study to understand it. They’ve seen this dance too many times before. They’ll sip their burnt coffee, shake their heads, and say what they always say when the next “big thing” blows through town: “Should’ve just built another rink.”
