We asked our runners, and we agree with them — Grandma’s Marathon has the most compassionate and energizing community of volunteers! Every year, our small group of communities hosts more than 20,000 participants on race weekend, and we certainly couldn’t take care of them without our volunteers’ help.
Simply put, Grandma’s Marathon is a world-class event with small-town charm because of our volunteers! There’s a reason our race has been around for more than four decades and has grown into one of the largest marathons in the country. That reason is YOU!
People from all around the world choose to come to Duluth each June because they know that its different from other major marathons. Many runners comment that on race day it feels like the whole town comes out to cheer them on. Our Volunteers make all the difference, and for that we are eternally grateful.
