She finished Grandma’s the next morning in 2:50:23. The night before the event, she set the record that still stands for the William A. As soon as she hung up her track spikes after the Big Sky Conference Championships in 1996, she came back to Duluth to compete in her first marathon at Grandma’s. Katie attended Duluth Marshall High school, where she ran track and cross country and went on to compete collegiately for Montana State University.
She still strongly believes in the healing powers of ice baths, despite any new evidence to the contrary, especially if taken after a 20+ miler in the “Big Gitch.” Katie fell in love with running, along the shores of Lake Superior, having trained thousands of miles on Highway 61. Any kid with an inclination to lace up a pair of running shoes, couldn’t help but be captivated watching the lanky top runners emerge out of the mist to take the title in Canal Park on marathon day. Growing up in Duluth, Mich., McMillan Running coach Katie McGee was raised on Grandma’s Marathon.
