TWO HARBORS, Minn.– Preparations have begun for this weekend’s Grandma’s Marathon and there is a lot more work to be done behind the scenes.
It looks empty now, but by Saturday morning, thousands of fans and racers will be out here to get ready, set, and go for the 45th annual Grandma’s Marathon.
This the largest event to return to Duluth since the pandemic, and as exciting as it is, there’s a lot of work to be done. But up in Two Harbors, local businesses have a game plan.
“Grandma’s is kind of a holiday for people up here, we’ll make more pie, we’ll probably make close to 700 pies on Saturday and Sunday each day, where as normally we make somewhere around 500,” Carl Ehlenz, the Owner of Betty’s Pies in Two Harbors, said.
