The @freepmarathon is in need of volunteers. This is a great way to help keep this Michigan tradition going strong.  Organizers are looking for volunteers to help as course monitors or at relay exchange stations, gear check and the start line! More info: freepmarathon.com/volunteer/

This year we are partnering with Hiccup, a reusable cup service. Look out for the blue silicone cups at the Mile 9 water station but remember DO NOT take the cup with you. After each race, Hiccup collects and sanitizes all used cups to prepare them for future races #gmas22

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month! Thank You to all those who make Grandma's Marathon possible by volunteering. One month doesn't seem like enough to thank them for all that they do. #Gmas22 #grandmasmarathon

Just prior to this interview Jack ran in (I believe) the age 11-14 heat while wearing snow boots and he is now my all-around hero. #youngathletesfoundation

BEST INTERVIEW EVER! Jack the superstar gives one of the funniest post race interviews of all time after running at UMD for Saturday Morning at the Races. He's got the confidence of a true all-star!
