The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon takes place each year, typically on the first weekend of October. The course for the marathon begins at US Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis and finishes along Summit Avenue at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. The course is pretty hilly with an elevation gain of 680 feet; however, the spectators along the course, along with the beautiful sites of the cities and lakes, make this task a little more bearable.

If you are looking for other race options, Medtronic offers at 10 mile run on Sunday that starts about 45 minutes prior to the full marathon. Saturday of Marathon weekend events are offered that are perfect for the young runners as well. Check out the Twin Cities website for more info!
