A typical Grandma’s weekend looks a bit like the State Fair: people flocking from practically everywhere to Duluth to run, cheer, and indulge at local restaurants, breweries, and shops. Minnesota’s oldest marathon, stretching from Two Harbors to Canal Park in downtown Duluth, attracted more than 18,000 people from all 50 states and 46 countries to the 2019 Grandma’s weekend races.
“We know this news is very disappointing, and all of us at Grandma’s Marathon feel the same, but we know that this is for the best.” “This is not the news that we wanted to be sharing with our running community,” the GM staff says in the announcement on the website. But for the first time in its long history, Grandma’s Marathon, one of the biggest running events in all of Minnesota, announced the event’s cancellation early this week due to COVID-19 concerns. Duluth's iconic Grandma's Marathon announced its June 19-20 race events are cancelled due to COVID-19.įor 43 years, runners all over our great state have trained, laced up their kicks, and pinned on their numbers for races ranging from 5 kilometers to 26.2 miles as part of the Duluth running weekend named for the local institution.
