What it Means to #MoveForMore

At TCM, we know the power of movement for individuals, and for community. It connects, heals, and energizes us.

The TC Half Marathon for More offers community-minded runners an opportunity to support TCM's mission by running our charity-focused half marathon event that culminates on the marathon finish line. Entrants are required to donate or raise funds for Twin Cities In Motion or one of our Charity Partners by a select date before Marathon Weekend.

General FAQs

What is the TC Half Marathon for More?

After a successful inaugural year in 2024, we are back with the TC Half Marathon for More! More spots, more community impact and more fun!

The TC Half Marathon for More participants will run the second half of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon course. You will start at Lake Nokomis, join the marathon course and enjoy the course along the Mississippi River, historic Summit Avenue and celebrate at the finish festival at the MN State Capitol.

This event was created to raise funds for Twin Cities In Motion’s programs including TC Kids Run Free and other programs to level the start line for our community.

Does the TC Kids Run Free Program apply to the TC Half Marathon for More?

No. As the Half Marathon for More is a charity event with a small capacity, there are no discounts to the registration fee through our TC Kids Run Free Program.

When can I register?

TCM Members can begin registering on Tuesday, February 25. The general public can begin registering on Tuesday, March 4th. There are only TCM 250 spots in the event, so we recommend registering as soon as possible.

If I am already registered for the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon or Medtronic TC 10 Mile, can I transfer into the TC Half Marathon for More?

If spots still are open, yes. Please keep in mind that if there is a difference in registration cost, you will need to pay the difference in addition to committing to raise the $365 minimum goal.
