Grandma’s Marathon Accepting Rudy Perpich Public Service Award Nominations

Even if you aren't a runner, volunteer or spectator, you can still participate in this year’s 39^th Grandma’s Marathon. Public nominations are currently being accepted for the 2015 Rudy Perpich Public Service Award.

Grandma's Marathon says that nominees may be any current or former public employee or elected official who has exhibited dedication to Grandma's Marathon by contributing time, energy and service to the annual running of the event. The nomination application will be accepted through Wednesday, April 15.

In 2006, Grandma's Marathon created the Rudy Perpich Public Service Award, named after the late Minnesota governor who was a tremendous supporter of the annual event.

Up to three individuals will be chosen to receive the 2015 award and will be honored at an award ceremony on Thursday, June 18. For ticket details or more information, call (218) 727-0947.
