Bangin’ in the Brush 10K 2026
For the 44th year, Korkki Nordic Ski Center hosts their annual 10K on the single-track ski trail. This is a “wet, muddy and challenging” 10K through the woods. After the race, attendees are awarded race prizes within many categories. The event also features door prizes, a BBQ and drinks. Kids can join in on a race around the field.
The cost is $40, or $20 for youth, high schoolers and college students. While the early bird registration deadline has passed, most if not all runners will receive this year’s race shirt.
Organizers suggest bringing a change of clothes for after the race.
Second chance to enter Grandma’s
To raise money to help complete the Joe Gomer statue at the new Duluth International Airport, Security Jewelers is auctioning an entry to the Garry Bjorklund/Grandma’s Half Marathon. This is a totally sold out event and 100 percent of proceeds will go to help honor this true American hero who was a member of the Tuskegee Air force. Please forward this message on to make all who missed out on an entry aware.
Who wants an entry for Grandma’s Half Marathon?
I have one entry left for Grandma’s Half Marathon. First one to call Security Jewelers 218-722-6633 (ask for Carrie or Wynette) and is willing to make a check out SMDC Childrens Hospital for $150 gets it. $75 of the $150 is tax deductible.
I have auctioned these entries on ebay in the past with proceeds always going to local nonprofits and usually get anywhere from $300-$1,000. $150 is a bargain for this sold out event and it goes to a great cause.
