Twin Cities Marathon: 75% of 10,500 in 6 Days

Twin Cities Marathon officials announced that they have filled 75% of the spots in their 10,500 runner marathon field in the first six days of registration.

“We’re pleased with the tremendous response from the running community who continue to choose our race as their fall marathon because of the great spectators, the beautiful course and a well-organized event,” Twin Cities Marathon executive director Virginia Brophy Achman said in a media release.

Twin Cities has filled in each of the last 20 years. In last year's 25th anniversary event, the marathon filled in 15 days.

The race takes place Sunday, October 7.
