Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend: Sustainability
The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America®
We are blessed with the most beautiful environment in the Twin Cities and at Twin Cities In Motion we want to start doing our part and work towards hosting a more sustainable event to keep it that way. We hope you join us in lessening our impact on the environments we are get to run in and there are a few ways you can help us throughout your race weekend!
At the start line drop your clothes in a designated bin to be collected and donated. Bins will be clearly marked throughout the start area.
START LINE
All of the water and Nuun cups on course are compostable, this means all of the bins on course are for compost only. Drop your cups in those but please throw your gel packets to the side of the road for our volunteers to collect and dispose of properly.
ON COURSE
-
Recycle your heat sheets by passing them off to a green team volunteer after the finish chute.
-
Sustainability Stations will be spread throughout the Capitol grounds with signage to guide you on which items belong in which waste stream. Please follow the signage and ask a green team volunteer if you have any questions. We will be collecting compost, recycling, and trash.
FINISH LINE
Consider lowering your race day carbon footprint by taking public transportation to the start or from the finish. All participants get free rides with Metro Transit on race day!
