There isn't much time left to get into the 27th Annual Fitgers 5k. This year they are allowing 2,000 runners and they are getting close to that number. This is a great way to see where you are in your training for the Bjorklund half or Grandma's Full Marathon.

Grandma's Marathon has announced a new race series challenge and it begins with the Saint Fennessy 4k coming up on March 19th. It's called the KP challenge, and includes 3 races.

Whether you're training for an upcoming Spring or Summer race or your New Year's resolution involves a commitment to exercise more, running during our Northland winters is possible, if you dress properly.  I've learned from experience and this quick video will show you what I wear for a safe and comfortable winter run.

There are more and more races popping up around the Northland and they all sound interesting. You want to run one or two, but you are a sitter, or someone who isn't as active, or maybe just a walker, here's a way to train for a 5K race that is your pace.

This Sunday the Minnesota Mile races get underway. They start at a location near Fitgers and finish close to the Holiday Center in Downtown Duluth. People can line up on both sides of Superior Street and join the runners later at the Holiday Center for Awards. Parking will be hard but I've included the traffic information.

The Young Athelete's Foundation and Grandma's Marathon bring you another week of Wednesday Night at the Races. The next installment will be in Hermantown at the High School. The races are for kids 14 and under.

So many people have apps they use to train and run to. Some people like to know the weather, what the wind speed is, what your heart beat is, so many things people use to get a personal best in order to get an edge.

Here we are, the 39th year of the Grandma's Marathon and Garry Bjorklund half marathon with Garry returning to celebrate the 25th year of the Half Marthon that bears his name. There are always things to remember when the marathon is run, for both runners and fans.

You could be a part of one of the most beautiful runs in the country, the crowd cheering you on, running by Lake Superior, being a part of history. Yep, if you have been mulling it over in your head whether you should enter Grandma's Marathon, you need to act by midnight tonight.

An estimated group of 3,000 runners bounced their way through the first ever Insane Inflatable 5K course in Superior on Saturday.
