Twin Cities 10 Mile Registration Lottery Opens

Feeling lucky?

The Medtronic TC 10 Mile registration lottery opens today and remains open until Sunday, July 15 at 10:00 p.m. On July 18, TCM officials will draw the entries accepted into the October 7 race -- which will also serve as the USA 10 Mile Championship for men.

Accepted entrants will be announced on July 20.

Officials are promoting two new features of the event this year: the field for the race as been expanded to 5,500 runners -- up 500 from last year -- and up to 10 runners may enter the lottery as a group for all-or-none acceptance.

"The Medtronic TC 10 Mile is a highly sought after race, so the lottery system gives runners a fair opportunity for registration,” TCM executive director Virginia Brophy Achman said in a media release. “Runners can only enter the lottery once and have the same chance of being selected whether they register the first or last day of the lottery.”
