Published: Apr. 23, 2024 at 12:26 PM AKDTFAIRBANKS, Alaska - In December 1808, a 38-year-old Ludwig Van Beethoven debuted his Fifth symphony at a theater in Vienna.
Racers started Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra’s “Beat Beethoven” 5K at the Patty Center, as they snaked through the University of Alaska Fairbanks to the rhythm of the Fifth symphony. Musicians or not, 297 of the 516 racers strummed their hamstrings with enough haste to cross the finish line before the final movement concluded. Kirk Hogenson cut it the closest with a final time of 31:38.
