Get Involved
The NorthShore Inline Marathon weekend is powered by a passionate community of runners, skaters, volunteers, and local supporters, and there are many ways to be part of it. You can run the Aspirus Health Half Marathon or the Finden Marketing Tunnel 10k, volunteer at the expo or on course, cheer from the sidelines, or support the event through sponsorship. Every person who gets involved helps create the energy that makes race weekend special. If you are looking for a fun way to connect with the Duluth community, this is one of the best opportunities of the year.
