MARATHON WEEKEND
Every October since 2006, runners from all around
the world have come to Minnesota to be part of
the Medtronic Global Heroes team. They all share a
passion for running. They all have overcome serious
health issues with the help of medical technology.
They all represent a return to “full life.”
On Marathon weekend, we invite you to join them
by wearing the blue ribbon given to you when you
pick up your official race packet. Maybe you are
running with a health condition. Or perhaps you are
running for a friend or family member dealing with
their health.
Either way, let’s tell the world that “a diagnosis
didn’t end the run.” Let’s demonstrate that when
we have access to quality healthcare, we can…and
will…live full lives. That includes running!

Finally, we’d like to thank the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul—their officials and their
citizens—for hosting the Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America®. Community support
is vital to the success and energy of our events. As you race between the Twin Cities, you’ll
be supported by more than 300,000 spectators, and bands and cheer zones at every mile

RISK OF
HYPOTHERMIA
Consider not starting or slow your pace and those with previous heat stress

Risk of heat stress is low. Be watchful for symptoms of heat stress and
cautious of changing weather conditions.
Risk of heat stress is low, but the risk of hypothermia exists, especially in
slow runners or in wet or windy conditions.
IMPAIRED RUNNER POLICY
TCM medical personnel race officials are permitted to
remove from the race any runner deemed medically
impaired. Medical officials will use these criteria to determine
whether you should continue. You must be able to:
1. Proceed in a straight path toward the finish line.
Visit tcmevents.org/tcmarathon for detailed Clif pace team
information.
CLOCKS, MILE MARKERS, AND TIMING
The clocks provide the elapsed gun time for the race and are
set to correspond with Corral 1 at 8:00 a.m. Digital clocks are
available at miles 1, 2, 3.1, 5, 10, 13.1, 15, 20, 25 and at the finish

RACE DAY CANCELLATION POLICY
Twin Cities In Motion’s primary concern is for the safety of the
volunteers setting up for the event, participants, spectators
and the community at large. TCM will not expose participants
or the Twin Cities community to undue risk as a result of staging
our event. When weather or other conditions present a danger
to the participants or community at large, the Games Committee
will maintain the right to cancel the race without refunds or
race credits. The staging of a race of this magnitude requires
substantial expense prior to the actual race itself.
In the unfortunate case of inclement weather or other
dangerous situations, participants can watch for
communication by Twin Cities In Motion at tcmevents.org,
via email, and on Facebook (/TwinCitiesInMotion) and
Twitter (@tcmarathon).
COURSE AMENITIES
CLIF PACE TEAMS
Experienced pace leaders from Clif 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
start and finish line, or you will be disqualified.

the electrolytes are in white cups of POWERADE® ION4® and

Medtronic blue cups marked by bright blue plumes.
