The Origin of Grandma’s Marathon Series, 2024

Story of Grandma’s Marathon

In this parody history, Grandma's Marathon takes on a delicious twist as grandmothers from all corners of the country converge on Duluth, Minnesota, not just for the thrill of the run, but for the ultimate reward awaiting them at the finish line – the famed "Grandma's Pie." Legend has it that the original grandmother who founded the marathon wasn't just a running enthusiast; she was a renowned baker with a secret pie recipe passed down through generations. Determined to be the first to taste test this delectable creation, grandmas of all ages lace up their running shoes and hit the marathon course, fueled not only by the desire for victory but by the promise of a slice of pie perfection.

As the grandmas sprint, jog, and shuffle their way through the scenic route along Lake Superior, the aroma of freshly baked pie fills the air, urging them forward with newfound vigor. Spectators cheer not just for the fastest runners, but for the resilience and determination of these grandmothers on a mission. And as each grandma crosses the finish line, exhausted yet triumphant, they are greeted not just with medals and applause, but with the sweetest reward of all – a warm slice of Grandma's Pie, the ultimate testament to their marathon journey and their unwavering dedication to culinary conquest.
