NOTE: Subject to change.
More course details will be available this summer.
New this year: Medtronic TC 10 Mile participants will be able to check gear only at the Health & Fitness Expo at the Saint Paul RiverCentre. This service will be available during all Expo open hours (11am-7pm on Friday and 10am-6pm on Saturday).
Please bring items you would like to have available to you when you finish with you when you come to the Expo, where you will be given a clear plastic gear check bag when you pick up your bib. Place the sticker with your bib number on it (located on the back of your bib) on that bag before placing your items in the bag and turning it in at the Gear Check Drop-off Area in the Expo Hall. You must place your items in that bag; items in other bags will not be accepted, and backpacks or other bags will be emptied into the clear plastic bag. Your bag will then be transported to the Finish Area and be promptly available for you to pick up in the Gear Check Pick-up Area on the Capitol Grounds once you finish on race morning.
Please note:
-
There is no Gear Check Drop-off for Medtronic TC 10 Mile participants on race morning. TCM is not responsible for and will not be able to return to their owners any gear check bags left in the Start Area by Medtronic TC 10 Mile participants.
-
Please show up at the Expo with any items you want to check—otherwise you will have to return to the Expo to drop them off, or do without Gear Check.
-
You will not have access to any items you check until after you finish—please don’t check anything you'll need before then, as we will not be able to retrieve it for you!
-
TCM is not responsible for any lost or stolen items and discourages participants from checking anything of value.

Yes. One runner may pick up another runner's packet.
Your representative will need a completed Packet Pick Up Authorization Form and their photo ID in order to pick up your packet. Your representative will also need to have the runner’s race number.
Note: only the representative's photo ID is required, not the participant’s.
All Medtronic TC 10 Mile participants must complete the course by 2:15 p.m. 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 board the sweep vehicle following this section of the course. Should you choose not to board the sweep vehicle, by order of Minneapolis police, you must 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.
Nuun Endurance sports drink (Lemon Lime) will be available at the fluid stations along the course.
Check back later this summer when we reveal our full array of course nutrition options.
Strollers are not permitted in the Marathon, 10 Mile and 10K.
Strollers are permitted in the 5K, Mile and Half Mile. Please indicate that you intend to run with a stroller on your registration form. You will sign a special waiver and be given a special "Stroller Bib" at packet pick up.
While we love our four-legged friends, we ask that they cheer you on from the sidelines and you reunite with them after exiting the Finish Controlled Zone. Thank you for your understanding.
Safety has always been our organization’s top priority. We continue to monitor COVID-19 and all other public health and safety risks and will evaluate and update our event safety protocols so that they are properly calibrated on event weekend. Any event changes or updated protocols will be communicated in the Pre-Race email sent race week.
If you are interested in learning more, including our cancellation policies for both COVID-19 and reasons other than COVID-19, click here.
Registration for the 2023 Medtronic Twin Cities Weekend registration is non-refundable 48 hours after registration and is completely non-refundable for registrations made five calendar days or less before the event, except if state or local authorities mandate race cancelation due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. In that case, partial cash refunds will be provided per this document.
It takes nearly 5,000 volunteers to keep our organization and events running.
Whether you’re looking for a one-day experience or a year-round leadership opportunity, we offer a variety of meaningful roles suited to help you reach your personal and professional goals. From course marshals to fluid stations and finish line volunteers, we have something for everyone.
Check back this summer for available volunteer roles, or check our our volunteer page for year-round opportunities.
