Gearing Up for Grandma’s
Event Navigation
The Gearing Up for Grandma’s event is meant to inspire and prepare runners for the upcoming training cycle leading into Grandma’s Marathon race weekend. As the official medical team for the race, Essentia Health experts will be on hand to answer runners’ pre-race questions related to training. Essentia will also provide a light breakfast to attendees and will be giving away 10 free entries to any of the 2024 Grandma’s Marathon weekend events.
