The 2026 Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon features a scenic, point-to-point racecourse that runs along the north shore of Lake Superior, starting outside the city limits of Duluth before finishing in the heart of Canal Park.The course boasts some of the most spectacular views in road racing, running over dozens of rivers, creeks, and streams from start to finish.
With rolling hills and a typical tailwind for runners, the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon course is home to many PRs. Along the way, you'll be empowered by thousands of fans cheering you on as you wind your way along the north shore.
All participants in the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon will receive a finisher shirt and medal (available AFTER the race only).
There are only 7,000 entries available in the general half marathon field, with another 500 available through the Great Grandma's Challenge - which offers a chance to run the 5K on Friday followed by the half marathon on Saturday.
NOTE: The 7,000 entries in the general field are fewer than past years, and we expect those entries to be sold out shortly after registration opens on October 1.
