When the entire town looks forward to Marathon weekend, you know it’s going to be a party! That citywide support and enthusiasm is definitely why so many people travel from across the country to Duluth, MN—a small town in northern Minnesota with a robust running tradition.

Grandma’s Marathon lives up to its reputation with great race support, beautiful views along Lake Superior (the largest freshwater lake in the world), 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.
