Medtronic TC 1 Mile Cancelled Due to Weather

As severe weather is predicted to continue and has impaired our ability to set up for the race safely, Twin Cities In Motion is CANCELLING tonight’s Medtronic TC 1 Mile race.

Minneapolis has been and continues to be under a tornado watch and forecasts continue to predict thunderstorms and lightning throughout the evening. Twin Cities In Motion’s primary concern is for the safety of the volunteers setting up for the event, participants, spectators and the community at large. We appreciate your cooperation.

Event registrants will receive an email with more information. Thank you for your support of Twin Cities In Motion events, and we hope that you will join us again in 2015.--TCIM Press Release.

In the mean time, you can watch the last few years of the #tc1mile on Flotrack and runnerspace! For example, 2009: http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/234973-

ATTN: sadly, the #tc1mile is cancelled. Due to a tornado watch the meet can't set up. THE BRAWL ON THE MALL will have to wait another year.
