Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend now features a half marathon!
At TCM, we know the power of movement for individuals, and for community. It connects, heals, and energizes us. In order to share this power with others, we're piloting a charity-driven experience this year in hopes that we can drive our mission forward and deepen our impact on the community.
The inaugural TC Half Marathon For More will let 200 runners run the final 13.1 miles of the marathon course while they support others to feel the power of motion. All funds raised through the TC Half Marathon for More will support TC Kids Run Free and Twin Cities In Motion’s other mission initiatives.

Reasons to Run with Us
"The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend has a long-standing tradition of raising money for fellow charities. To grow this impact, we needed to find how we could help move for even more. The inaugural TC Half Marathon For More will serve as a test to see if we can create and grow a significant new opportunity. If successful in its first year supporting TCM’s nonprofit mission, we will be able to invite other charities to fundraise through the most popular distance in running."

If I can no longer run, can I transfer my entry or defer to next year?

Can Kids Run Free in the TC Half Marathon For More?
