Overview
- The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon weekend will run Sunday with organizers reporting more than 30,000 people registered across events and just over 10,000 entered in the full marathon.
- Runners start near U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, loop the lakes and cross along the Mississippi before the final climb up Summit Avenue to the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.
- Race officials have published course maps, a spectator guide and road‑closure information and they urge carpooling and early arrival because weekend traffic and staged closures will affect many central routes.
- The weekend includes a health and fitness expo at the St. Paul RiverCentre plus Saturday family events, 5K and 10K races, and last year’s champions Will Norris and Jane Bareikis are returning to defend their titles.
- Organizers cited several recent years of unusually warm fall weather as the reason for moving the race to mid‑October in 2027, a change meant to lower heat risk for runners and simplify medical and logistics planning.
