Great Grandma’s Challenge William A. Irvin 5k, Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon. Duluth, Mn, June 20-21, 2025 Delayed in Duluth - Great Grandma’s Challenge 2025 It was finally time to set out for Duluth, MN for Grandma’s Marathon weekend. My husband, Josh and I left Thursday morning for the almost seven hour drive. It was an uneventful drive, but I will say since I have been making the trip north on I-35, I am not sure if there has ever been a time there wasn’t road construction.
