Grandma's Marathon

Grandma's Marathon is a 26.2 point-to-point course run along the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior, finishing with live entertainment in Canal Park.  Featuring a relatively flat and fast course along the shores of Lake Superior, Grandma’s Marathon also famously offers enthusiastic and empowering support given by tens of thousands of spectators throughout race day.
