Gary Bjorklund Half Marathon

For years, the process to get into the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon has been the same:  You are a provided a window in which to enter for the race, then you cross your fingers and hope you're randomly selected to participate via a lottery system.  Beginning with the 2018 race, that will change.

Grandma's Marathon weekend will have more excitement than usual as it was announced that U.S. Olympian and Duluth native, Kara Goucher, is expected to run the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon.  She is also scheduled to speak as a part of race-weekend festivities.

Grandma's Marathon weekend kicks of Friday, June 16 with the William A. Irvin 5K.  Then on Saturday, it's the Gary Bjorklund Half Marathon and Grandma's Marathon.  If you've signed up to run in one of those races, your name is on display at the Miller Hill Mall.
