Grandma's Marathon is a point-to-point course run along the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior.

Enthusiastic volunteers, spectators and live entertainers line the streets to cheer runners on as they stride to the finish line.
Headphone Rule
USATF rules (Click here and read rule #144.3b) prohibit the use of headphones and similar devices on the racecourse. This rule will be enforced during Grandma's Marathon, the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, the William A. Irvin 5K, Fitger's 5K, the Park Point 5-Miler and the Grandma's Minnesota Mile. Runners should not bring these devices with them to the race. Those carrying/wearing these devices will be given the option to surrender their music device to a designated race official prior to entering the starting line gates. Surrendered devices will be properly packaged and mailed back to their rightful owners within two weeks after the race. Participants that choose not to surrender their device will be disqualified from the race and their finishing time will not appear in the official race results.
Ultima Replenisher, the exclusive racecourse performance drink of Grandma's Marathon and the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, will be available at all aid stations in Lemonade Flavor. For more information about Ultima Replenisher products visit their web site: www.ultimareplenisher.com.
