The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon is The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America. Starting in downtown Minneapolis, runners wind their way through the beautiful Chain of Lakes and along the Mississippi river before cruising to a dramatic downhill finish at the State Capitol in St. Paul.  The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon is a top-ranked marathon for spectator support, with more than 300,000 people to cheer you on along the USATF-certified course. A Top 10 U.S. Marathon, it is perfect for experienced runners, destination racers, competitive athletes and first-time marathoners (who comprise one-third of the field each year).

Organized by Twin Cities In Motion, the region’s premier running event organization, the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon is a world-class marathon experience from start to finish.
