Coming from the west coast, I was amazed and how green everything was.

Perfect for an out of town racer like myself.Ĭourse: It is BEAUTIFUL out there. Since the race is on Saturday, they do keep the expo open until 10 pm that night. You then walk through the main expo to pick up your bib and race packet.

There are tables set up with bread and you just pay, file in, and eat to your stomach's content. They have an AYCE pasta dinner that runners can attend in the first huge room. They even provided everyone with a runner friendly breakfast the morning of the race and bags of ice for those who needed to ice their legs post-race.Įxpo: The expo was held at the DECC (Duluth Entertainment Convention Center) and it's quite an experience. Luckily, Marshall school allowed for a 1 night stay and it was super close to the buses that would take us to the start. Housing: I only planned on staying a night and most places require a minimum 2 night stay so a friend told me about housing at a dorm. It's been almost a week since I raced the Garry Bjorklund half marathon and oh how I want to say so much about how amazing this race is, but to prevent you from having to read my ramblings, I'll try to keep it as short as I can while also doing the race justice.
