An unidentified young athlete (above) finished the 100-plus yard race for her age group in the Grandma's Marathon Whipper Snapper Races for Kids on Friday afternoon at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth. Below, I presume that this is her father encouraging her along the 100-yard course.
More than 17,000 runners from around the world will participate in the 37th annual Grandma's Marathon events this weekend. Howie / DuluthWaterfront.com
