Join City Running just a few hours north for one of the best weekends of the year.
A Friday morning shakeout run, limited apparel collab with our friends from Tracksmith, the wildest cheer zone on the course powered by On, and race day afterparty guaranteed to please, we’ve got Grandma’s Marathon weekend covered.
The Back Alley Shakeout
Friday June 21st - 9am
The day before the big one. Along with Tracksmith, we’ll host a short (2-4 mile) shakeout from The Back Alley Surf Shop in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Duluth. Post-run we’ll have complimentary coffee courtesy of Tracksmith and a pop-up retail experience outside.
Back Alley Surf & Coffee - 2409 W Superior St, Duluth, MN 55806
Race Day Cheer Zone
Saturday June 22nd - 7am
Everything you know and love from a City Running cheer zone, with an added boost of energy from On Running. We’ll be dialed in near mile 24 of the marathon course, directly across the street from Sir Benedict’s Tavern. Great food, live DJ, indisputable sunshine – the vibes will be immaculate. All you need to do is bring your voice as we enthusiastically usher the runners into the final few miles of the race.
Post Race Party & Tracksmith Poster Stamping
Saturday June 22nd - Noon
Celebrate or commiserate post-race with Tracksmith and City Running at Blacklist Brewing. Conveniently located one half mile from the finish line, we’ll share stories and salute the great efforts of the day.
The Minnesota Goodbye
Sunday June 23rd - 9am - 11am
Recover with the crew from On and City Running as we host an easy walk along the lakefront. Pop down anytime between 9am-11am, we’ll be serving up complimentary coffee from Underwood, have an on-site mobile sauna from Sauna du Nord, and Normatec boots for use. This low key hang sesh is the perfect way to wrap the weekend.
