In honor of Grandma's Marathon's 35th anniversary, the Duluth News-Tribune's Kevin Pates took time to remember some of the legends of the event -- two-time men's champions Garry Bjorklund, Dick Beardsley and three-time women's winner Lorriane Moller.Find Pates' story HERE.
In the piece we learn that Bjorklund changed shoes during his win at the first-ever Grandma's Marathon in 1977, that Beardsley had premonitions his record-setting 2:09:37 in 1981, and that Moller's record-setting 2:29:36 win in 1981 was the race that prompted her to "embrace her destiny" as world class marathoner.
