Grandma's Marathon presents the last race of the year, the 10th Annual Minnesota Mile. They start at a location near Fitgers and finish around 4th Avenue West in Downtown Duluth. People can line up on both sides of Superior Street and join the runners later at the Holiday Center for Awards.

In between sprinkles, the Park Point 5 Miler went off without a hitch. The favorite, Scott Behling, won the 45th annual race with a time of 26 minutes and 14 seconds, and St. Cloud’s McKenzie Holt, 20, claimed the women's title with a time of 31:27.
