Every participant in one of the Grandma’s Marathon weekend races will have the choice at time of registration to either pick up their race packet in person or have it mailed to them prior to race weekend.
If you choose to pick up your race packet in person, you can do so on Thursday or Friday of race week at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC).
NOTE: If you are participating in the William A. Irvin 5K, you must pick up your packet by 5:30pm on Friday afternoon.

What If I Can't Pick Up My Packet In Person?
If you are not able to pick your packet up in person, you have the following options:
- You may have someone else pick up your packet. To do this, complete the authorization (found at the bottom of your official bib number email coming in June), and have someone else bring the printed, authorized confirmation to race packet pickup.
- For a $25.00 fee (within the United States), you can have your packet mailed to you a week prior to the race. The deadline to request this service is May 20, 2022. NOTE: This option is not available for any participants in the Great Grandma’s Challenge.
- If you do not select this option when registering, please call us at (218) 727-0947 with a credit card number or mail a check to us. Please include the address to which you would like your race packet sent. Checks can be mailed to: Grandma’s Marathon P.O Box 16234, Duluth, MN 55816.
IMPORTANT: There is absolutely no race packet pickup on race morning. All runners must show a photo ID to pick up their race packet.
