[email protected] A MINNESOTA NONPROFIT CORPORATION June 2021 Welcome to Duluth and the 45th annual Grandma’s Marathon weekend! Media coverage and contributions have always been a cornerstone of our event, and your efforts have helped grow our race weekend into what it is today. On behalf of the Grandma’s Marathon staff and Board of Directors, we thank you for your continued support and engagement. After more than four decades of this great summer tradition, we have welcomed hundreds of thousands into our community and witnessed participants from all over the world cross the Grandma’s Marathon finish line. Each of these participants has their own unique story. From those trying to beat their personal records to those overcoming illness or personal hardship, each runner’s story is what makes Grandma’s Marathon so very special. Your telling of these stories only deepens the roots our race has in Duluth and the surrounding communities, and we thank you for all you have shared throughout the years. With the numerous festivities and surrounding activities of Grandma’s Marathon weekend, there surely is something for everybody. People from all over the world come together to make this a world class event with small town charm, and we could not do it without each and every one of them. The 2021 Media Guide is designed to be your primary source of information as you cover our race weekend, but please do not hesitate to reach out if we can help in any other way to make your work easier and more effective.
