Spaghetti Dinner

COME HUNGRY, LEAVE HAPPY

The Michelina’s All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner has been a tradition of Grandma’s Marathon since the start of the race in 1977!

Our annual pre-race feast brings together not just our race participants, but also their family and friends along with the entire Duluth community in celebration of yet another Grandma’s Marathon. Come join us for a your heaping plate of spaghetti along with a perfect opportunity to connect with old friends or to make new ones!

Eat, drink, and be merry! Join us this year for a wonderful, family-style meal that’s sure to provide you the energy to run fast, volunteer well, or cheer loud on Saturday morning!
