ミネアポリス周辺のMarathonレース

The 45th edition of this event offers a celebrated urban journey, beginning in Minneapolis and culminating in Saint Paul. It’s widely regarded as "the best weekend of the year" for its festive atmosphere and the unique opportunity to run through the heart of both Minnesota cities. This established race draws a large community of runners each autumn. With over 10,000 participants, the course provides a distinct experience, winding through the varied landscapes that connect Minneapolis to Saint Paul. Runners navigate city streets and scenic stretches, experiencing the energy of the Twin Cities from start to finish. The race culminates in Saint Paul, delivering a memorable conclusion to this anticipated annual event.

The TC Half Marathon for More is a Sunday-morning charity half marathon in Minneapolis, beginning at 500 South 6th Street during Twin Cities In Motion’s Marathon Weekend. It is designed for runners seeking the half-marathon distance linked directly to fundraising; entry requires a donation or funds raised for Twin Cities In Motion or one of its charity partners prior to race weekend. The race concludes at the same finish line as the marathon, offering charity runners a portion of the larger Marathon Weekend atmosphere without completing the full distance. Participants may run with Team TCM, select from a roster of charity teams, and align their race with the event’s #MoveForMore theme: utilizing running to support community programs via Twin Cities In Motion.

The Mill Towns Race Series begins and ends in Memorial Park in Dundas, Minnesota, offering marathon, half marathon, and 10K distances on an October Sunday. All three races are chip-timed, and the marathon course is certified for Boston Marathon qualification. The event is designed for runners seeking a simple race day: parking, bib pickup, start, finish, food, medals, and pre- and post-race activities are all located within the park. The course is flat and looped, following the Cannon River between Dundas and Northfield through a route bordered by trees. The 10K completes one loop, the half marathon completes two, and the marathon completes four. This means runners traverse the same sections multiple times rather than a point-to-point course. The series is USATF sanctioned, with the marathon and half marathon courses certified as MN24023MAB. Packet pickup is available before race day and on race morning. Shirts are an optional add-on during registration.

The White Continent 50k, Marathon & Half-Marathon is a race trip in Antarctica, based on King George Island. Runners camp overnight before racing on Antarctic land. It is held annually and offers three distances: 50k, marathon, and half marathon. This event is for those aiming to run in Antarctica without a lengthy ship-based expedition, as the Drake Passage is crossed by air, not by boat. Space is limited and demand is high; runners arrange their own flights to Punta Arenas, Chile, before joining the race program. The course places runners on one of the few race routes on Antarctic ground, with penguins and seals nearby. After the race, the trip may include a visit to a penguin colony, time around a nearby Russian research base and its Orthodox church. The event attracts seven-continent marathoners, record chasers, adaptive athletes, and groups using Antarctica as the final piece of a larger running goal. Records associated with the race include the first female hand cyclist to complete a marathon in Antarctica, youngest and oldest seven-continent finishers, fastest seven-continent schedules for marathon and half-marathon formats, oldest twin brothers to finish an Antarctic marathon, and a large group of African-American runners completing races on the continent together.

Runners stay at the Novotel London Greenwich, less than half a mile from the London Marathon start area. The Marathon Adventures London Marathon Adventure Deposit is a pre-registration route into a 4-night, 5-day hotel-and-entry package for the TCS London Marathon, a spring road marathon in London on a course the operator describes as the fastest in the world. Demand is high, so the package starts with a refundable partial deposit; accepting a place later makes that deposit non-refundable and leads to a larger deposit that locks in the race entry and hotel room. The setup is practical for race morning: the hotel is close enough to walk to the start, and it sits near the Cutty Sark and Prime Meridian Park in Greenwich. The trip also includes a local pub welcome gathering, time at the London Marathon Running Show, a coach trip to Stonehenge, and a visit to Oxford University with Christ Church. Marathon Adventures is run by a U.S.-based tour operator with repeated finishes at London and the other major marathons, so the package is aimed at runners who want entry logistics, hotel planning, and group travel handled together.
