The organizers of Grandma’s Marathon have resurected an 1980’s tradition by bringing back the Minnesota Mile on two dates in two cities: Wednesday, July 11 in St. Paul and again September 9 in Duluth. These road miles will feature several divisions and will include elite fields.
“Many of our participants travel from the Twin Cities area to attend Grandma’s Marathon weekend, so this time we decided to bring a race to them,” said Scott Keenan, executive director of Grandma’s Marathon, in a media release. “This opportunity to resurrect the Minnesota Mile is exciting, and we’re thrilled to create two races which include all skill levels.”
Prize money will be offered five-deep for men and women: $1250-750-500-250-100.
