Twin Cities Marathon 75% Full

The field for the 2008 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon is 75% filled, race officials announced yesterday. Capacity for the October 5 race is 11,000.

“Registration is essentially on-track with last year,” Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. executive director Virginia Brophy Achman said in a media release. “With the Bank of America Chicago Marathon filling last week, we’re starting to see an increase in runners from around the country who may still be seeking the perfect spot for their fall marathon."

The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon was ranked 10th largest in the United States in 2007, based on number of finishers. Last year the race filled in 19 days.
