Did somebody say Grandma's Marathon?
"My absolute favorite part of this race is the course. It's a point-to-point that mostly hugs the shore of Lake Superior, with views of the Northwoods and smell of earth and pine that makes you feel so alive and invigorated. You literally feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, yet you are surrounded by an amazing running community and fantastic spectators. If you're lucky, there will be a nice, cool breeze off the lake at your back."

Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN, is on the bucket list for many #MotherRunners. One of the few Saturday marathons, the race is the third weekend in June (June 16th, to be exact) allowing runners to enjoy spring training runs and recover during the summer months or train for an upcoming Fall marathon. Take it easy on Sunday (hello, brunch!) and make convenient travel plans back home. Score!
Plus, if you want to make it a family event, you can sign the kids up for the Whipper Snapper Races on Friday night and then come together for the best carbo load in the Midwest, the Michelina's All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner. (and if you want to ditch the kids and enjoy a runcation, we encourage that too!)
"The race is very well organized. The volunteers are AMAZING! The course support is fantastic - even when weather conditions are not. In the past when it's been hot, the volunteers have been ready and generous with ice and cold soaked sponges. Duluth welcomes runners with open arms the entire weekend, and the entire city embraces Grandma's Marathon and all the runners, spectators, and volunteers who flock there for the weekend."
