Grandma’s Marathon Lodging Fundraiser

During the weekend of Grandma’s Marathon--June 20-22, 2008--members and supporters of the Land Trust offer rooms in their homes, and in some cases their entire home, to out-of-town guests for a suggested donation. All proceeds benefit our organization.

We can accommodate large groups as well as individuals and couples. Suggested donations range from $75-$500. No minimum stay is required.

To reserve a room or browse our list of available rooms/homes, click here. For questions about lodging, call 218-727-5372 or email julie@landtrustduluth.org.

If you live in Duluth or Two Harbors and would like to host out-of-town guests for our fundraiser, email julie@landtrustduluth.org or call Julie at 218-727-5372.
