FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Anderson's Maple Syrup Joins Grandma's Marathon As Major Sponsor
PURE FUEL to be Offered as Official Racecourse Energy in 2022
(DULUTH, MINN.) --- Grandma's Marathon - Duluth, Inc. today is announcing a
sponsorship agreement with Anderson's Maple Syrup that makes the
Wisconsin-based company the event's official racecourse energy supplier.
PURE FUEL, a single-serving packet of maple syrup, will now be available to
runners during both Grandma's Marathon and the Garry Bjorklund Half
Marathon in June 2022. Made of only 100% organic maple syrup, PURE FUEL
offers a natural alternative to energy gels and contains vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants, and carbohydrates that athletes need.
Steve Anderson, Anderson's Maple Syrup: We are thrilled to expand our
partnership with Grandma's Marathon in 2022. PURE FUEL has been part of the
weekend's fitness expo for several years, and now we are excited to be the
on-course fuel for this year's race. We think runners will find PURE FUEL
checks all the boxes --- easy to digest, easy to swallow, and it gives you
that extra boost to finish the day.
Shane Bauer, Grandma's Marathon Executive Director: PURE FUEL is an ideal
sponsor for our Grandma's Marathon events. They have a long history with
large events, and being able to offer each of our participants an organic,
healthy, and effective option for energy is a wonderful value add for our
race weekend. We look forward to this in 2022 and hopefully beyond.
The new partnership means PURE FUEL will be prominently placed on the
racecourse and readily available for runners --- at Mile 17 of the marathon
and Mile 4 of the half marathon. Anderson's Maple Syrup will also continue
to have a presence at the race weekend fitness expo, although runners are
encouraged to train with PURE FUEL before arriving to Duluth in June. To
order or for additional nutritional information, please visit

Anderson's Maple Syrup/PURE FUEL is a local, family-owned business based
just 100 miles from Duluth in Cumberland, Wis. PURE FUEL is a simple but
effective natural and versatile alternative to the hard-to-swallow,
chemical based gels on the market. From waffles to workouts, let us fuel
your way to the finish line with maple syrup.
The 2022 Grandma's Marathon weekend is scheduled for June 16-18 in Duluth,
Minn. To register or for more information, please visit

ABOUT GRANDMA'S MARATHON
Grandma's Marathon began in 1977 when a group of local runners planned a
scenic road race from Two Harbors to Duluth, Minnesota. There were just 150
participants that year, but organizers knew they had discovered something
special. Grandma's Marathon weekend draws more than 20,000 participants for
its three-race event each June.
The race got its name from the Duluth-based group of famous Grandma's
Restaurants, the first major sponsor of the marathon. Over time, the level
of sponsorship with the restaurants changed, but the name stayed the same.
Grandma's Marathon-Duluth, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit
organization with a 17-member Board of Directors and a nine-person,
full-time staff.
