(Duluth, MN) — Organizers of Grandma’s Marathon are scaling back this year’s race weekend in Duluth due to the ongoing pandemic.
The field of runners for each race will be half capacity and there will be a “rolling start” process to help create space for social distancing.
The biggest change is they are discouraging spectators from large gatherings and most traditional viewing spots in downtown Duluth and Canal Park won’t be available. Everyone who is not running in a race will be required to wear a face mask.
Spokesman Zach Schneider said they’re confident that this version of Grandma’s Marathon can happen successfully and as safely as possible in June (17-19),
