Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend Races
Registration for all Marathon Weekend Events opens March 4, 2025!
Registration for all Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend events, including the TC 10 Mile, will open March 4, 2025!
As part of the Raise the Community Pace initiative, TCM will shift away from a random registration drawing for the 10 Mile to first-come, first-served registration opening in March along with all other Marathon Weekend Events.
Whether you wake up at 4 a.m. to lace up or spend the night before hand-lettering motivational signs, the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend has a place for you. There’s no other running event that weaves a winding path through two major cities, circles around three urban lakes and travels across the Mississippi as fall leaves start to change. The enthusiasm of generations coming out to cheer on their neighbors, toast mimosas and ring noisemakers mirrors how life-changing it feels to cross the finish line. Our Marathon Weekend connects us through the energy of movement, bringing people of all walks of life together.
Shared steps.
Shared celebration.
