Registration for the 43rd annual Grandma's Marathon - as well as the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon and William A. Irvin 5K - opens at 7 p.m. Monday.

Entries for all three races will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The marathon will be capped at 9,000 runners, with the half-marathon and 5K limited to 7,500 and 2,000 participants, respectively.

Word of caution: The Bjorklund reached capacity in approximately four hours last year.

Race fees are $110 for the marathon - price increases are scheduled until the field is full - $95 for the half and $35 for the 5K.

Additional options include the Great Grandma's Challenge, which pairs the 5K with either the marathon or half-marathon. It's limited to the first 500 runners. There's also a two-year entry guarantee for the half-marathon, which costs $390, with half of the fee going to the Young Athletes Foundation.
