The NorthShore Run features the St. Luke’s Half Marathon and the Tunnel 10K. The half marathon runs along the scenic North Shore of Lake Superior, 13.1 miles point to point. Enjoy the same course as the Garry Bjorklund half marathon, but take the interstate (I-35) for the last 4 miles … MORE

    The course is an out and back with a twist – the highway is closed to traffic and you get to run through a series of three tunnels each way. Most of the time the scenery is nothing much – concrete, etc – but every now and then when you emerge from one of the tunnels you get some spectacular views of Lake Superior (at least for the first 3 miles).

    Once you make your turn, the scenery fades as you’re now heading southbound on the highway and won’t have much to look at until the last mile when you turn towards the Duluth harbor and finally finish near the William A Irvin – a retired (and now museum) great lakes freighter.

    Running the NorthShore St. Lukes Half Marathon, I did not know what to expect as it was my first half marathon but I have to say that it blew me away. Not only was the race gorgeous, but also well put together and an extremely fun group of people to run with and compete. If you are in Duluth Minnesota or want to take a beautiful trip to the NorthShore, do it! A great half marathon in Duluth!

    Really interesting running route. For the half marathon you get to go through some fantastic scenic routes. For the 10k you go on the highway and get to run through the Duluth tunnels which was really cool!

    My first time at this race – it was a wet and rainy day, but that didn’t stop the runners. Didn’t stop the inline skaters either as this race is one of many events going on under the Northshore Inline Marathon weekend banner – there are half, 10k for runners and also inline skate events going on.

    The course is an out and back through the tunnels in Duluth. Get some peaks of Lake Superior and a close up of the harbor near the finish line too.

    I hit my PB on this race recovering from an injury!

    Second time doing this race. It is so fun to run thru the tunnels on a freeway – I35! The course is an out and back so he run thru the tunnels twice. There are a few challenging long uphills, up to the turnaround spot and near the end going up a couple ramps to get off the freeway. The views of a Lake Superior are beautiful as usual. The shirt (soft unisex tee have run very large the two years I’ve done it) and medal are great. Plenty of post race food and drink. Downside: This race is part of the inline skate races too so the expo before and after are pretty much all focused on skating. So that is disappointing for all of the runners. I wish there was more for runners, there are a lot of us as there as there is a 10k and a Half for runners. Other than that I highly recommend this race.
