Or the Medtronic TC 10 Mile, or the 10k, 5k, family 1 mile! So much fun all packed up in one weekend!

The TC 10K, 7:30 a.m. followed by the 5K, 9:00 a.m.

We want to see you there and run the 10K or the 5K. It will be a beautiful fall day in the Twin Cities and we know you can run 6.2 or 3.1 on Saturday morning!

Half Mile, 10:30 a.m.

The Half Mile starts and ends on John Ireland Boulevard, near the State Capitol. The race follows the 5K course for a quarter mile and returns to finish at the 5K/marathon finish line! This event helps even young kids get a taste of what the excitement of a race is like!

Participants receive a medal and shirt!

Harry & Shelly Mascot Invitational, 11:00 a.m.

Kids of all ages will love Harry & Shelly’s Mascot Invitational! Don’t miss this Saturday event featuring your favorite mascots running for the finish line in a race all their own. TCM’s mascots, Harry and Shelly, and all their friends will be available for hugs and photos before and after the race too. Come cheer for the mascots!

Diaper Dash, 11:15 a.m.

This “competitive” crawl on the State Capitol lawn is perfect for little ones still on their hands and knees. Participants in the Diaper Dash crawl from an inner circle to a slightly larger outer circle, where his or her loving parents are waiting.

Little ones in this race receive race bibs, too!

Toddler Trot, 11:30 a.m.

Approximately 50 yards long, the Toddler Trot takes place on the lawn of the State Capitol grounds. This race takes place in waves starting with 1-year-olds and finishes with the 5-year-olds!

Your little ones receive race bibs, a participant shirt and a medal, too!

and that is just Saturday!

Followed by Sunday with the TC 10 Mile and the marathon itself!

One of the founders of 365 Twin Cities signed up for the Looney Challenge and will be running the 5K on Saturday then followed by running the TC 10 Mile on Sunday! Should be fun to see how he does and if he survives to tell about it!

Online registration for the family events is closed but if you would like to participate, just show up and get registered onsite!

Hope to see you in Saint Paul for the annual Twin Cities Marathon! It will be fun.

So comment below if you will be running next weekend! Hope to see you all there!

PS: be sure to be on the look out for the 365Run.Club opening soon and we will be announcing our own 365 Virtual Run series as well! A great way to be active and give back to the community!
