The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon is an annual race being held for the last 40 years (since 1982) across the twin cities of Minneapolis and Minnesota. With a plethora of options in race distances, it offers something for toddlers to the eldest age groups and from amateurs to pro-athletes.
It is one of the top 10 largest marathons in the US and is called “The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America” mainly due to the innumerable parkways, lakes, rivers, and tree-lined boulevards across the racecourse.
The MTC Marathon has a course certified by USATF and World Athletics and race timings run on the course are Boston and Olympic Trials qualifier-eligible.
