Nomination open for Grandma's Marathon Rudy Perpich Public Service Award

You don’t have to be a runner, volunteer or spectator in order to play a role in this year’s 35th Grandma’s Marathon.

Nominations are being accepted for the 2011 Rudy Perpich Public Service Award through Friday, April 15. Nominees can be any current or former public employee or elected official who has exhibited dedication to Grandma's Marathon by contributing time, energy and service to the annual running of the event. The nomination application is available at GrandmasMarathon.com or by calling (218) 727-0947.

In 2006, Grandma's Marathon created the Rudy Perpich Public Service Award, named after the late Minnesota governor who was a tremendous supporter of the annual event.

Up to three individuals will be chosen to receive the 2011 award and will be honored at a ceremony on Thursday, June 16 at 7 a.m. at Duluth’s Radisson Hotel. For ticket details or more information, call (218) 727-0947.
