Locals are doing more than just running to prepare for Grandma’s Marathon.

About 200 veteran and first time marathoners packed Essentia Health’s first street building to get some advice from experts.

The Gearing up for Grandmas seminar featured speakers who talked to the audience about best practices in training, proper nutrition, gear and even things they should not be doing while getting ready for the race.

“More than anything it’s kind of a feeling of camaraderie and closeness,” Grandma’s Marathon Public Relations Director Bob Gustafson said. “You’re here with other runners that are gonna be tackling the Grandma’s Marathon or the Gary Bjorklund half marathon.”

The race kicks off June 20th.

Registration is still open.
