FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

         RUDY PERPICH PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED

Grandma’s Marathon has announced the recipients of its 2015 Rudy Perpich 
Public Service Award.

Being recognized for their longtime contributions to Grandma's Marathon 
are:

Kevin Hakala, City of Duluth
Shawn McGovern, City of Proctor & City of Duluth
Brad Wick, City of Duluth

These three will receive their awards at a breakfast ceremony on Thursday, 
June 18 at 7 a.m. at Duluth’s Radisson Hotel.

Named after the late Minnesota governor who was a strong supporter of the 
annual event, the award is given annually to up to three current or former 
public employees or elected officials. In 2006, Grandma's Marathon created 
the Rudy Perpich Public Service Award to recognize the many current or 
former public employees and elected officials who have exhibited dedication 
and service to the event.

The 10th annual Rudy Perpich Public Service Award Breakfast is the first of 
many events being held during Grandma's Marathon weekend, presented by 
Wells Fargo and Toyota. The Essentia Health Fitness & Health Expo begins at 
5 p.m. on June 18 and continues all day on Friday, June 19. Other Friday 
events include the Michelina's All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner, the 
Whipper Snapper Races for Kids, guest speaking presentations, the William 
A. Irvin 5K and live entertainment in Canal Park with award-winning country 
band Gloriana with special guest Hitchville.

The Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon and Grandma's Marathon are Saturday, June 
20. For more information, visit www.GrandmasMarathon.com
