Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon
Lo esencial
La Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon es ampliamente reconocida como 'El Maratón Urbano Más Hermoso de América', y su recorrido lo confirma. Se trata de una ruta en un sentido que conecta las dos ciudades más grandes de Minnesota: comienza en el centro de Minneapolis (cerca del U.S. Bank Stadium) y termina en el Capitolio del Estado en St. Paul. A lo largo del camino, el recorrido muestra los colores del otoño y los lagos de la ciudad: pasarás junto al resplandeciente Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, y a lo largo del río Mississippi. La histórica Summit Avenue en St. Paul, rodeada de árboles otoñales y casas majestuosas, comprende las últimas millas. El terreno es principalmente plano a suavemente ondulado; el mayor desafío es una subida gradual extendida de aproximadamente la milla 20 a la 23 conforme asciendes desde el nivel del río hasta el Capitolio (una ganancia de elevación de aproximadamente 200 pies que se siente significativa en el tramo final). En general, muchos corredores encuentran que Twin Cities es rápida: hay suficiente bajada y terreno plano al inicio para compensar las colinas finales. Y los visuales son impresionantes en todo momento, desde los skylines urbanos hasta las vistas naturales.

The course is point-to-point from downtown Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul and finishes along the Mississippi River with scenic views of the Saint Paul riverfront and downtown skyline.
Finishers receive a commemorative medal and a technical finisher shirt, and there is a well-stocked post-race festival with food vendors, a beer garden, and recovery areas.
The event weekend includes a race expo with packet pickup, vendor booths, a kids run (KidDash), and community events such as a pre-race pasta dinner hosted by local partners.
Aid stations are frequent—typically every 1.5–2.5 miles—offering water, electrolyte drink, and gels, and medical tents are available at the finish area for recovery support.
Parking in downtown Minneapolis is limited on race morning so organizers provide shuttle services from designated lots and recommend arriving early or using public transit; there are awards for overall, masters, and standard five-year age-group categories.
