Join Duluth Running Co. and our partners for three FREE long runs (and three parties!) as we build towards Grandmas Marathon, Duluth’s premier running event.
Designed to fit perfectly into a training schedule for either Grandma's Marathon or the Gary Bjorkland Half, these runs will help you build confidence, fitness, and community as we approach the events.
All are welcome to join, whether you’re training for a spring race or just wanting to get out and stay active with a group.
After each long run, we'll have a post long-run party, featuring Underwood Coffee!
Go The Distance
Sat. May 24th | 7:30 AM | Finish at Duluth Running Company
The final and premier event of the series. Join us for a preview of the Grandma’s Marathon course with a long run down the scenic North Shore highway.
Choose either a 12-mile or 20-mile route, with water and nutrition stations along the way. All runners meet at DRC and take a bus to their chosen starting point — Salaka Rd for 20 miles or Ryan Rd for 12 miles.
Stay around afterwards for the Post Run Party!
- FREE Underwood Coffee
- FREE Crank and Dasher Ice Cream

Go the Distance with Olympian, Ben Blankenship!
Our More Than Miles long run series has been building toward this: one final run to celebrate the work, the progress, and the community that’s shown up every step of the way.
To help us close it out, we’re excited to welcome Ben Blankenship—a 2016 Olympian and Mount to Coast athlete—who’ll be joining us for this special event.
Ben made his name as a world-class miler, representing the U.S. on the biggest stage. But in recent years, he’s taken on a new challenge—pushing into marathons, ultras, and redefining what’s possible for a lifelong runner. His story is about evolution, endurance, and embracing the unknown—exactly the spirit we hope to capture in this series.
Join Ben for our last long run!
