Prior to leaving my hotel I had my usual english muffin with peanut butter, a banana, and a cup of coffee. My hotel was right next to the finish line so I was able to walk from there to the DECC to catch one of the buses that brought me from Duluth to Two Harbors where the starting line was located. This year I also went and listened to Kara Goucher speak (she was running the half marathon this year) which was very inspiring to hear her running story. There was no wait to get my bib and the lines to make sure the time chip worked appropriately moved very smoothly.
At the expo is where you pick up your bib as well. The Expo is held at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) with plenty of vendors present to spend a good hour walking around and checking out all the running related products. This year if you signed up before the new year you also got a long sleeve quarter zip training shirt as well with the cost of entry into the race. There is a tiered registration system in place for this race (the closer to the race day you register, the more you will pay for this race). This is a road race that takes you down the scenic highway along the shores of Lake Superior.
The race start time was 7:45 AM starting in Two Harbors, MN and ending in Canal Park in Duluth, MN.
Grandmas Marathon (41st Annual) was on Saturday June 17th in Duluth, MN.
