2027 Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon

Race Information

Since its start in 1991, the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon has grown into one of the most popular and largest half marathons in the United States. Named a "Runners Choice" event by RaceRaves, the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon was voted the best 13.1-mile race in the state of Minnesota in 2019. With rolling hills and a net downhill elevation, this racecourse starts north of Duluth, MN, and runs along Scenic Highway 61, hugging the shores of Lake Superior before taking participants through the heart of downtown Duluth and finishing in historic Canal Park. The point-to-point course features rolling hills and, oftentimes, a tailwind on race day.
