FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


      Verizon Wireless Presents Runner Tracking at Grandma's Marathon
                  
                 Online Registration Available June 1

(Duluth, Minn.) If you're looking to keep track of your favorite runners 
during Grandma's Marathon weekend, Verizon Wireless has the perfect 
solution.

Beginning June 1, family members and friends can log on to 
www.GrandmasMarathon.com, and simply enter the name(s) of up to four runners 
they want to track. They then select whether they want the information 
delivered by text message or email by entering a valid wireless phone 
number or email address.

The tracking system, made possible through the support of Verizon Wireless, 
enables the progress of Grandma's Marathon and Garry Bjorklund Half 
Marathon participants to be tracked at numerous checkpoints along the 
racecourse, including the finish line.

The signup period runs through 8 p.m. Friday, June 20 by logging onto the 
Grandma's Marathon Web site or by stopping by the Verizon Wireless exhibit 
outside of the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC).

This marks the seventh year that Verizon Wireless is sponsoring runner 
tracking via text messaging and email. The company has been a major sponsor 
of Grandma's Marathon since 1992.

This tracking technology is a joint effort between Grandma's Marathon, 
Verizon Wireless, Mtec Results and MarathonGuide.com.

In all, more than 18,000 runners from around the world will participate in 
the 38th annual Grandma's Marathon weekend, which is presented by Wells 
Fargo and Toyota.

For more information on any of Grandma's Marathon's races or events, visit 
www.GrandmasMarathon.com or call (218) 727-0947.
