Registration for this fall’s Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend is now open. CST. Anchored by the weekend’s signature 26.2-mile race dubbed the Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America® the weekend of running and fitness events will take place from Friday, October 4, through Sunday, October 6.
Registration will be conducted online through the Twin Cities In Motion website, tcmevents.org. In addition to the marathon which runs on Sunday, October 6, registration will also open for the following Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend events:

Those events take place at the State Capitol grounds on Saturday, October 5.
Registration will also open for the TC Loony and TC Ultra Loony Challenges – where runners participate in the TC 5K and TC 10K prior to running either the Medtronic TC 10 Mile or marathon the following day.
The registration drawing for the Medtronic TC 10 Mile, to be held on the same day as the marathon, opens June 17.
“We’re eager to open registration to the general public and officially begin the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon build-up,” Twin Cities In Motion President Dean Orton said. “The marathon already has more than 3300 entrants thanks to runners from last year’s heat-cancelled events signing up during a special entry window last fall. We can already see there’s lots of excitement for this year’s marathon weekend and anticipate serving the community at sold-out levels for both Saturday & Sunday.”
This year’s event will feature:
- Marathon Training Program, fellow community nonprofit Run Minnesota will provide the marathon’s and 10 mile’s new official training program.
- Renowned Spectator Support, including the Diane & Alan Page Community Cheer Challenge.
- Greater Community Impact, with a goal to help raise a million dollars for over 50 nonprofits through the event’s Charity Program.
- Live Race-Day Coverage, live start-to-finish race-day streaming in partnership with KARE 11.
