Grandma’s Marathon

About this race

We’re thrilled to announce that Dare2tri is a charity partner for the 2025 Grandma’s Marathon & Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon! Since its inaugural race in 1977, Grandma’s Marathon has grown into something much bigger than just a 26.2-mile race along the scenic North Shore of Minnesota. It’s now become a “can’t-miss” weekend in June, a moment when participants of all calibers come together to celebrate the vigor of the human spirit.
