Guaranteed Spots in 2013 and 2014 Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon

Every two years, Grandma's Marathon offers a unique opportunity for 100 
individuals to purchase guaranteed entries into the Garry Bjorklund Half 
Marathon.

Half of the proceeds from this fundraiser go directly to the Young Athletes 
Foundation (YAF), a Grandma's Marathon program that assists youth sports 
and recreation programs in Carlton, Cook, Douglas (Wis.), Lake and St. 
Louis Counties.

This opportunity will be available for the 2013 and 2014 races and will 
cost $320 ($160 for the entry fees and $160 contribution to the YAF).

Starting Friday, Oct. 26, those interested in this opportunity will be able 
to download and print a special entry form at www.GrandmasMarathon.com. The 
first 100 entries received by mail will be given the two-year guaranteed 
entry.
