WILMINGTON, Del. – Planet Fitness, the health club franchise known for its Judgement Free Zone® and friendly prices, has teamed up with the Lance Armstrong Foundation to help sponsor a 5-kilometer road race in Wilmington.  

 

The race will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 18 at 6:30 p.m., beginning at Dravo Plaza in the Wilmington Riverfront, next to Blair Outlet Center.
