Ever dream of taking a home run trot around the bases at the Metrodome or Target Field?Well, now you can do the next best thing -- run a 4K race between the Minnesota Twins' old and new homes -- as well as catch a Twins game and help team's charity partners.
The Minnesota Twins and Twin Cities In Motion, the organizer of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, Twins Territory 4K, presented by Twin Cities In Motion.
For $49, race participants will earn a commemorative race T-shirt, enjoy finish-line food and beverages at Target Plaza , receive a ticket to any one of three Twins games that weekend against the Seattle Mariners, and have a portion of their entry fee go support the charity partners of the Twins Community Fund.
Race participants will also have the opportunity to buy up to two additional tickets to the weekend series at a special Twins Territory 4K price. The Twins play games against the Mariners on Friday, July 30 at 7:10 p.m., Sunday, July 31 at 3:10 p.m. and Sunday, August 1 at 1:10 p.m.
“We are so pleased to launch this event with the Minnesota Twins,” Twin Cities In Motion executive director Virginia Brophy Achman said. “We’re excited to be partnering with an esteemed Minnesota institution like the Twins, and we’re eager to give runners the opportunity to race across Minneapolis , contribute to the Twins Community Fund, and watch a fine baseball team play in its new home."
The race starts near the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome at 7:00 a.m. It will run past Gold Medal Park , the Guthrie Theater, the Mill City Museum and the scenic banks of the Mississippi river . The route will take runners through the North Loop neighborhood and the Historic Warehouse District of downtown Minneapolis before ending on Target Plaza , the doorstep of Target Field.
The race field for the Twins Territory 4K, presented by Twin Cities In Motion is capped at 2,000 participants, so interested runners should enter early for this unique community event.
