Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend

The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon has earned the reputation for being "The most beautiful urban marathon in America." Beginning in the Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN the course takes you mile after mile of parkways, lakes, rivers and tree-lined boulevards. The urban setting lines the course with more than 300,000 screaming fans so the energy never bogs down nor does the most flat but challenging course. With 10 Cheer Zones, over a dozen course entertainment acts, the ever-changing and you've got an experience you'll never forget as you cross the finish line in St. Paul.

Course Description

The point-to-point course begins near Mall of America Field in downtown Minneapolis and finishes at the State Capitol in Saint Paul. The course winds around four beautiful lakes and both sides of the Mississippi River. While it does have some rolling hills, with a starting and finishing elevation of approximately 840 feet and no climbs over 100 feet long, there isn't anything you can't handle. Run past the clanging bells of the St. Paul Cathedral. From there you'll get a spectacular view of the State Capitol with a nice downhill to the finish line!
