5,280 feet of beauty — brisk autumn temperatures and breathtaking views combine to make the Minnesota Mile a perfect way to usher in the new season in northeastern Minnesota. The 1-mile course will take you along the scenic Skyline Parkway in Duluth, MN, where you can enjoy spectacular views of Lake Superior, the St. Louis River Bay, and Minnesota’s early fall foliage.
Net proceeds from the event go to benefit the Young Athletes Foundation (YAF), the nonprofit arm of Grandma’s Marathon focused on helping the area’s youth develop healthy and active lifestyles. Since its inception in 1990, the YAF has donated more than $1 million to youth athletic and nonprofit organizations in a five-county region.
