DULUTH, Minn. – Back in October, registration was open for Grandma’s Marathon, the Garry Bjorklund Half-Marathon and the William A. Irvin 5K. The half-marathon filled up in just over 13 hours. And now the other two are full as well.
Organizers announced Tuesday that all three races have reached the half-capacity limit for in-person registration. The full and half-marathons were limited to 4,000 runners, while the limit was 1,500 for the 5K. For those who are still interested to run in-person, they are encouraged to reach out to the marathon’s charity partners which can be found on their website.

If you know someone running either race, there are a number of places to stop and watch your athlete. Keep in mind that the Scenic Highway and London Road will be closed for the duration of the race. The Expressway and Superior Street to North 10th Avenue East will remain open, but traffic is typically heavy. Access by car to Canal Park is impossible after 7:15 a.m.
