Medtronic TC 10 Mile participants may place their gear and other items in the clear, plastic race bag provided at packet pick up. Gear check drop-off will be available ONLY at Expo near packet pick up. Items in personal bags will not be accepted. Please be mindful to not overstuff your bag and do not leave valuable items (phone, car keys, etc.) in your gear check bag.
NOTE: Gear check drop-off will NOT be available at the start area on Sunday.
The Medtronic TC 10 Mile start line is located at 400 PORTLAND AVE. MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55415.
Course Time Limit:
All Medtronic TC 10 Mile participants must complete the course by 2:50 PM. If you are passed by the marathon leaders—which may happen for participants completing the TC 10 Mile at or near a 15-minutes-per-mile pace—you are required to follow all instructions from event officials, which may include moving to the side of the road. This is for the safety of both you and the lead marathoners, as official marathon lead vehicles and bicycles will be operating on the road along with runners during this period.
Additionally, the first three miles of the 10 Mile are run on a dedicated route separate from the marathon course. Participants are required to complete this section of the course at an 18-minutes-per-mile pace. Participants who fall behind this pace will be asked to move to the sidewalk and obey all pedestrian traffic laws until you complete this section of the course as it reopens to traffic on a rolling basis behind the sweep vehicle. Runners who choose to continue and are not on the sidewalk for this section of the course, will have their race number recorded and are subject to a ban from future TCM events.
On Course Support:
The Medtronic TC 10 Mile will have water and Nuun at fluid stations. Check back later this summer for more details!
The Medtronic TC 10 Mile will have Race Pacers, presented by Medtronic. Charge your run with the right beat and shoot for your goal!

Age group awards will be mailed to participants for categories of men, women and non-binary athletes placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in their age group. Age groups include 8 & under, 9-13, 14-18, 19-24, and continue in five-year increments until the 80+ age group. Athletes registered under “prefer not to disclose” for gender are not eligible for age group awards.
Twin Cities In Motion believes in supporting top age group and local amateur runners. As such, the following Medtronic TC 10 Mile cash awards are available to all athletes, not including those in the Medtronic TC 10 Mile Professional Invited Field. Cash awards will be based on gun time; separate guns may be used.
Twin Cities In Motion contributes $1,000 to the USATF Minnesota Team Circuit.
There are a limited number of complimentary entries available for top-level age group performers in the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, TC 10 Mile, and TC 10K. If you have run and 85%+ age-graded time in the past two years, please contact TCM Event Operations Manager Alana Dillinger, [email protected], with your official results. Hitting the time standard does not guarantee a comped entry.
Professional Invited Athletes: In 2026 Twin Cities In Motion will host a professional field in the TC 10K instead of a professional field in the Medtronic TC 10 Mile. You can find details for the professional 10K here.
The 2026 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, TC 10 Mile, and TC 10K are sanctioned USATF events and the TC 10K will serve as the 2026 USATF 10K Championships.
