Grandma's Marathon is one of the biggest events in the Twin Ports every year and for good reason!
The races began decades ago and since, has become a huge part of the culture in Duluth. It brings thousands of people together for one weekend each summer.
It isn't just one marathon either! Grandma's has a 5K, which usually takes place the night before the big race, and a half marathon. There is truly a race for everyone.
The whole weekend is one big party, too. There is a famous all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner prior to the full and half marathon races and live music, vendors and food.
