Essentia Health Fit-n-Fun Run Is Today at Public School Stadium

Grandma's Marathon is more than just an even that takes place each June in Duluth.  The organization also partners with local businesses and schools to promote healthy events and activities for all kids in the Northland.  On such event event is the Essentia Health Fit-n-Fun Run.

Grandma’s Marathon and the Young Athletes Foundation partnered with Duluth Public Schools and Essentia Health to create the Fit-n-Fun Middle School Assemblies and Fit-n-Fun Run in 2008.

According to Grandmas Marathon, about 1,900 Duluth elementary school students participating in the eighth annual Essentia Health Fit-n-Fun Run today at Public School Stadium.  The first race is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. with the last group running about 12:30 p.m.

As my kids get older, I love getting them involved in things such as this because I fear less kids are consistently getting exercise in general and they're spending too much time in front of screens.  I salute all the kids participating today, great job!
