Tony is into golf and a pizza oven house project, and Mike is into gravel road cycling with a recent finish at the Le Grand Du Nord 100 mile race.

Tony and Mike share a favorite route of the week with the Amity Creek and Downer Park trail systems nearby Vermilion Road in the northeastern sections of Duluth. In stark comparison to last month’s podcast, Duluth trails are open for business! In this month’s Coach’s Corner segment, Tony discusses taper tips as many look forward to Grandma’s Marathon weekend events in less than two weeks. Trail conditions are excellent, albeit pretty dry and dusty. Last Runner Standing is on June 10th, Grandma’s Marathon the following weekend, and Midnight Sun Friday night of June 23rd. Upcoming Races include the final NMTC trail race at Chester Park, with a potluck and awards ceremony to follow. This is the second year that T-Mobile is sponsoring runner tracking and the technology is a joint effort between Grandma’s Marathon, T-Mobile, Mtec Results and Race Roster.Race results are discussed from the nearly-completed NMTC Spring Trail Run series, Pike Lake 10k/Half Marathon, Madeline Island Marathon, Superior Spring Trail Races, and Fargo Marathon. Marathon officials ask that people be patient as information is updated and coverage improves throughout the day. Because of the limited communication coverage on some remote areas of the course, there may be significant delay or no tracking data available. The tracking system enables family and friends to check the progress of participants at numerous checkpoints along the racecourse, including the finish line.

To track a runner on race day, people can simply enter the name or bib number of the runner they wish to track. Once again, this year Grandma’s Marathon will offer live runner tracking Saturday for the marathon and the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon.įamily members and friends can either download the Grandma’s Marathon app on iOS and Android devices, or visit
