Another one in the books! A record breaking year for the Men's Full Marathon, personal bests from so many runners, along with a record crowd cheering from the sidelines.
First Off, Congratulations to all the Runners in this years Grandmas Marathon, you did it! And to Duluth native Kara Goucher, for not only winning the women's division of the half marathon, but setting a new course record!
Having been a spectator for the last 11 Grandma's Marathons it is truly amazing to see the power and strength of the human spirit. What other time do you get to yell at complete strangers and have them smile back and wave?
