Grandma’s Marathon
For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s Marathon and the Gary Bjorklund half marathon has been around and happening mid June. Well, we are already in mid-June, and Grandma’s is this weekend! I am so excited because for the past four years that I’ve volunteered at mile 7, it has been disgusting outside. Pouring rain, freezing cold, the works. But, while this week itself has been foggy, cold, and rainy, this weekend is actually looking like it might be nice! I can’t believe it! Thousands and thousands of people come to either run or watch the race, and I have one of the best views on the sidelines handing out Powerade and water to the runners. It’s pretty fun! The course runs throughout Duluth, and ends downtown. It’s hard to drive anywhere during the race, and many people aren’t able to. Then, the volunteers get free pizza, and that’s always good too! 😋 one year I hope to run the half, but for now I’m okay with watching!
