Fourth win for Lorang at Porter

For the fourth straight year, John Lorang of Woodbury returned to his home town and won the Porter Harvest Festival 5K off-road race.

Molly Knutson of Volga, SD was the women’s winner. Lorang finished in 23:21 with Knutson at 25:12. Because of weather conditions, this race did not go through the river — as others have in the past. Instead, it wound around Porter, went along a dike next to the river and finished at Schoneman Park in Porter.

The third overall winner was Ben Drietz of Porter in 26:52. Leo McKeon of Bemidji was right behind him and Mason Merritt of Elk River finished out the top five.
