Grandma's Marathon: Community, Challenge, and Cheers

Grandma’s Marathon is in full swing in Duluth, drawing thousands of runners and fans for its 50th year. Athletes like Carlie Peters, tackling her first full marathon after months of training, are fueled by the electric pre-race energy. Families rally behind competitors, like Kayla Kirkpatrick’s sister chasing a Boston qualifier. Medical pros stress hydration, nutrition, and post-race movement to avoid injury or fainting. Beyond the race, the expo buzzes with spaghetti dinners, live music, and volunteer opportunities — and the crowd’s support is what makes this iconic event truly unforgettable.
