Have you always wanted to participate in Grandma's Marathon, but are daunted by running 26.2 miles? To get involved without breaking a sweat (or getting blisters), volunteer for the June 18 footrace along Scenic Highway 61 from Two Harbors to Duluth. "We still need help," said Bob Gustafson, public relations director for the race. "We mainly need people for the finish-line area and the water stations along the route." Each year, the race relies on 5,000 volunteers; 8,000 runners are currently registered for the marathon and that number will rise before registration ends June 1. Including those who signed up for a 5K and a half-marathon, 17,000 runners are currently set to participate. To volunteer, go to here or call 1-218-727-0947.
