Can I participate if I am not running a Grandma's Marathon race?
Absolutely, not all of our members run a Grandma's event. Some have summer race plans and others just love running and training with fellow runners.

Where are the group runs located?
In the early season (Feb.-Mar.) all weekday runs will be from Duluth Running Co. and usually include the paved Lakewalk trail. Saturday runs and supported long runs will be from the store as well as at various locations in Duluth (ie. Lester Park, Munger Trailhead, Spirit Mountain).

Do I have to attend the group runs?
No group run is mandatory, but it is encouraged for all members to attend group runs as it increases the likelihood of success on race day and is an all-around good time!

What about poor weather conditions?
We prioritize safety and healthy training conditions. That being said we are a "rain or shine" kind of group! It is not often that we cancel runs, however, it does happen from time to time. We communicate this with the group at least 4-6 hours prior to the group run. In winter when the temps are low, we do not hold group runs if the "feels like" temperature is 0 degrees. This is for the health and safety of all of our members. 

Do you offer refunds or transfer of the membership?
Refunds and transfers are not offered unless an individual's situation includes pregnancy/postpartum and/or military deployment.

What is a supported long run?
As training runs increase in mileage, we support our runners with hydration and sometimes nutrition on the route. This allows for runners to practice necessary hydration and nutrition habits during their long efforts.
