When the entire town looks forward to Marathon weekend, you know it’s going to be a party!

The town of Duluth has a rich tradition of celebrating this race, and there’s a reason so many people travel from across the country to this small town in northern Minnesota. Grandma’s Marathon lives up to its sterling reputation with great race support, beautiful views along Lake Superior, and a ROCKIN’ post-race party that draws all the locals to cheer on (and party with) the runners.

Simply put, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more-welcoming, more universally-loved race than Grandma’s Marathon.
