Due to construction on Hennepin Avenue the marathon course will be minimally re-routed. The marathon start line will remain near US Bank Stadium and the course will re-join the 2018 course around mile 1.3. There will also be a slight course change near Lake Nokomis, but will be the same course from mile 13 to the finish line. The course has been sanctioned and certified under USATF. Water, Lemon-Lime Endurance Formula GATORADE® sports drink will be available at fluid stations throughout the course and Gu Energy Gels in both vanilla bean and tri-berry flavors will be at mile 17. See the 2019 Participant Guide in mid-September for more specific locations. Below is the 2019 marathon course for your reference.
Experienced pace leaders will run even splits and provide encouragement and advice along the way to help you cross the finish line within two minutes of your goal finishing times.
