United StatesWelcome to the official mobile app of Grandma's Marathon Weekend, June 21-22, 2024. Use the app to track your favorite runners in the Marathon and Half Marathon and for all event details, race information, course maps and key updates to keep you informed for the 2024 Grandma's Marathon weekend! Started by a local group of runners in 1977, Grandma’s Marathon has grown from just 150 participants its first year to now one of the largest marathons in the United States. Widely regarded as a world class event with small town charm, our race now welcomes more than 20,000 participants each June and brings with it close to $21M of economic impact to the region. The Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, named after the first-ever marathon champion, began in 1991 and is now one of the most popular 13.1-mile races in the nation. The William A. Irvin 5K followed shortly after in 1994 and is now the kickoff event to the weekend’s three-race schedule.
Barely Functional
Most races will have a web site tracker. Grandma’s forces you to download the app. It’s barely one step above phoning people in Duluth asking if they’ve seen your runner pass by. The estimated progress is nowhere near accurate. Very few split stations. No leaderboard. Don’t remove rogue chips from results. Splits are late - not even sure how that’s possible in 2023. Trying to follow a potential qualifier and I’m guessing he calls me before his result pops up.
United StatesNot helpful on race day
Easy to navigate but actual tracking is significantly off. If you are using this to track your runner/find cheering location this is not great.
United StatesEasy to navigate
We found everyone we were following, the navigation in the ap was simple, information was prompt. Couldn’t have asked for better!
United StatesLive runner tracking incredible
We have been coming to this marathon for years and struggled with the runner tracking. This app made everything sooo easy!

Great app!!! Would give it more stars if I could! Very user friendly. So easy to live track runners! Thank you for developing such a great app.
United StatesShoutout Video not working
Very disappointing - it’s not working on iPhone or iPad, and the race is only two days away.
United StatesNot reliable live tracking at start of race
The live tracking was not reliable at the start of the race until we received the first official update at the 10k mark. We were very nervous that our daughter who had trained well and was her 4th marathon was injured because she was pacing 2 minutes slower than her actual pace. Having said that.... it was a great app for the updates and for being ready to cheer her on near the finish line! I would definitely recommend the app, just know initial live tracking may not be reliable.
