About the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon
Minnesota's signature marathon is built around a Minneapolis start, a Saint Paul finish, and a mature race-weekend operation that brings runners back for dependable fall racing.
Course
The point-to-point course links the two downtowns with parkway, lake, neighborhood, and capitol-area miles. The layout rewards controlled early pacing before the late climb toward Saint Paul.
Race-day weather
Early October usually gives Twin Cities runners cool starting conditions, but sun and wind can change the late miles. It is a good weather slot for steady pacing.
