Grandma's Marathon just set a record it did not race for.

All 8,000 places in the 2027 Duluth marathon were gone in 174 minutes on Thursday night. The Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon beat them to it, filling 7,500 spots in 58 minutes. Both are the fastest sellouts the race has ever recorded.

For context, the full marathon took just under 12 hours to sell out a year ago, and that was already a record set by the hype around the 50th running. The half took 1 hour 17 seconds last year. This time 17 minutes came off that number.

At the peak of registration, the online queue held more than 11,000 people. Within 90 minutes, over 17,500 runners had claimed spots across the weekend. The William A. Irvin 5K filled in 118 minutes. The Full Great Grandma's Challenge went in 170. The Half Great Grandma's Challenge in 64.

Grandma's shortened its introductory price window from 15 days to five this year. Everything still sold out before the prices moved.

About 1,000 charity entries remain for anyone who missed the window.

The 51st annual Grandma's Marathon weekend runs June 17 to 19, 2027.

The first rule of Run Club... is that you NEVER stop talking about Run Club.

What starts as a casual social run quickly becomes Strava, Garmins, PBs, carbon-plated shoes, hydration vests, seventeen gels and telling absolutely everyone at work what you did at the weekend.

Don’t worry... it’s not competitive.

Your finishing time will merely be recorded, uploaded and compared with everybody you’ve ever met.

Fortunately, there’s always coffee afterwards...

where everyone can recover from talking about running by sitting down and talking about running..

Pre didn’t wait for the race to unfold. He took the lead, set a blistering pace, and dared anyone to keep up. He wasn’t there to play it safe. He was there to break the field or break himself trying. ALL OR NOTHING.

It started as a small Toronto event, and became a major international race

Most runners blame their spine for post-run back pain, but the real culprit is a stack of small issues hiding in your hips, core, and stride 👇

Ed Whitlock ran a 2:54:48 marathon at 73 years old. A year earlier, he had become the first person over 70 to run a marathon under 3 hours.

He trained by running slow loops of a cemetery near his home in Milton, Ontario, often for 3 hours at a time, and did almost no structured speed work.

Age-group records keep falling as more runners stay in the sport past 50. Recovery between hard sessions takes longer at that age, so the runner who can train again tomorrow gets more back than the runner who hammered today and stays flat for days.

Over 50: would you trade one hard workout a week for two extra easy runs?
