Since 1977, Duluth has hosted Grandma's Marathon, a race held annually in June. Named after its original sponsor, Grandma's Restaurant, it draws runners from all over the world. The course starts just outside [[Two Harbors, Minnesota]], runs down [[County Road 61 (St. Louis County, Minnesota)|Old Highway 61]] (the former route of [[Minnesota State Highway 61|Highway 61]] along the [[North Shore (Lake Superior)|North Shore]] of [[Lake Superior]]), and finishes in one of Duluth's tourism neighborhoods, [[Canal Park (Duluth)|Canal Park]]. The same route is also taken during the North Shore Inline Marathon, held in September, which also draws racers from all over the world.
