Runners Gather for ‘Gearing Up for Grandma’s’

Professionals Give Tips to Marathon Runners

DULUTH, Minn. – With Grandma’s Marathon just a few months away, marathoners are training for the big race

Essentia Health and Grandma’s Marathon hosted the annual Gearing Up for Grandma’s Pre-Race Seminar today, to help people prepare for the race.  Medical professionals, dietitians and even an Olympian spoke at the seminar, giving tips and advice to all people planning to run in the race this year.

“This is just a way to get them together, and talk about the race, talk about any questions they have, and really get them pumped up about the training, because this is the most critical part of their training, and making sure they have the best race day yet,” said Kate Kucinski, the PR Director of Grandma’s Marathon.

Grandma’s marathon is around 15 weeks away, and registrations are still open for those who are interested.
