Walz So Slow, Race Director Calls Race Before He Finishes

The Governor took part in the 7th Annual Duluth Deer Opener 5 Mile Race, running with his daughter to raise awareness for his emergency powers. Walz, who has noticeably gained a couple extra pounds since his Army days, appears to have slowed down significantly. According to Walz’ tweet, the Race Director “called the race” as Walz barely made it back to the famous Canal Park finish line.

Minnesota Loonatic reached out to Race Director, Lars Johnson about Walz’ performance. “We waited for a couple hours and grew impatient” stated Lars. “Eventually after all the other runners had finished, we had to call the race, only to see Walz and his daughter walking on the shoreline by the finish line.”

Since the race was for emergency powers awareness, Walz opted to run the 5 miles with his mask on, while also keeping a proper social distance from the second to last runner. It’s unlikely he’ll be taking part in the upcoming St Paul Turkey Trot near the Governor’s Mansion. Walz is expected to lock everyone down again on Tuesday.
