Dear Participants, Thank you for a successful and memorable 2014 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend! It’s a privilege and an honor to plan, organize, manage and run all of the weekend events. With the help of more than 5,000 race weekend volunteers, the Twin Cities In Motion Association, Board of Directors and staff, were pleased to bring you another spectacular weekend. Each of you helped establish record-setting overall finisher numbers in 2014: The marathon’s 8,849 finishers ended up just shy of last year’s record total, while the 10 mile’s 8,581 finishers edged the race record from 2013. More than 8,300 athletes participated in our Saturday Events — the Medtronic TC Family Events as well as the TC 10K, presented by Sprint, and the TC 5K, presented by Fredrikson & Byron. In all, more than 25,000 athletes crossed a Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend finish line in 2014! Here are some of our favorite memories from Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend: Tyler Pennel In a race where nearly a third of runners are running their first-ever marathons, Tyler Pennel of Blowing Rock, N.C., proved a fitting champion, winning the 2014 USA Marathon title and the 33rd annual Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon in his first attempt at the distance. Global Heroes Traveling from ten countries and across the U.S., twenty-five Medtronic Global Heroes – marathoners and ten milers who benefit from medical technology – raced from Minneapolis to St. Paul serving as an inspiration to others living with chronic diseases. Mbarak Hussein One of our favorite competitors, Mbarak Hussein won an unprecedented 5th USA Masters title this year. The 49-year-old two-time Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon champion didn’t get much rest at the finish line, rushing to the airport soon after finishing to be with his wife for the birth of their first child. Kids, Kids, Kids! Witnessing the excitement and joy of thousands of kids participating in running events and learning the habits of a healthy, active life. Joshua George & Susannah Scaroni We were pleased to see last year’s wheeler champions Joshua George and Susannah Scaroni defend their titles this year. The two Paralympian's are an inspiration to runners and fellow wheelers. Charity Partners We’re proud to say that Twin Cities In Motion and its charity partners have exceeded last year’s fundraising total of $789,382, much of it through the efforts of you, our runners. We are proud to see the sport we love help make our community stronger. On behalf of the Twin Cities In Motion Board of Directors, Association members, and staff, thank you for running with us. See you October 2-4, 2015! Sincerely,

Thank You from Twin Cities In Motion!

Recognized as The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America®, the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon is an iconic fall event for the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The marathon grew from roots in both cities.

The Minnesota Distance Running Association created the event’s earliest ancestor, the Land of Lakes

Marathon, in 1963. Spectators outnumbered runners that inaugural year as just five participants, all male, made the 26.2 mile trek along Minneapolis’ streets and parkways.

In 1976, the race was renamed the City of Lakes Marathon and moved to a four-lap course around Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet. By 1981, with the running boom echoing across the country, the race took just a month to fill to its limit of 1,700 runners.

In the same year, Minneapolis’ counterpart established its own marathon — the St. Paul Marathon — which followed a course around Minnesota’s capitol city. The race launched successfully, drawing approximately 2,000 runners in it first and only running.

In 1982, organizers from the St. Paul and City of Lakes marathons combined efforts to establish the Twin Cities Marathon. Race officials realized that a marathon which connected Minneapolis to St. Paul, combining the spectacular autumn beauty of both cities, would be a greater attraction than two competing marathons on either side of the Mississippi River. The inaugural Twin Cities Marathon attracted 4,563 entrants, which established an entry record for a first-time race in the United States.

In the 33 years since, the marathon has grown to a full weekend of events including the Medtronic TC 10 Mile race as a Sunday companion event to the marathon. On the Saturday before the marathon and 10 mile, runners can compete in the TC 10K and TC 5K as well as the Medtronic TC Family Events.

The Marathon Course

The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America®

The 2014 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon course began near the site of the former Hubert H. Humphrey Met-rodome in downtown Minneapolis and followed the scenic streets and parkways of the Twin Cities before fin-ishing on the State Capitol grounds in Saint Paul. The course passed lakes and follows Minnehaha Creek and the Mississippi River en route to its Summit Avenue homestretch. More than 300,000 spectators made the marathon an unforgettable experience for participants.

Charter Club Members

For the past 33 years, 28 runners and one wheeler have continued

an annual tradition begun on a sunny October Sunday in 1982 —

finishing each and every Twin Cities Marathon! Deterred neither by

the waning of interest, the misfortune of injury, nor the passage of

time, these original Twin Cities Marathoners embody a human link from the event’s earnest beginning,

through its rich history, and to its vibrant present.

The Medtronic TC 10 Mile

In 1998, board members of what is now Twin Cities In Motion began searching for a race to add as a companion event to the marathon. While a half-marathon initially seemed like a good option, adding a slightly shorter race quickly emerged as the best plan. A 10 mile race allowed the same popular start and finish areas as the marathon in addition to using the marathon course for more than half of the 10 Mile race distance.

Registration for the inaugural TC 10 Mile in 1999 opened with a 1,500-runner cap to allow organizers to gauge interest in the event. The race known as the “Shortcut to the Capitol®” caught on with Twin Cities runners as an alternative to the full marathon and quickly grew in popularity. In its second year, the ten mile field filled in a single day!

The race shifted to a lottery registration system in 2001 in an effort to broaden access to the race. A tracking feature was introduced in 2010, giving runners who hadn’t been selected for two consecutive years guaranteed entry to the race on the third year.

The Medtronic TC 10 Mile took runners past the Weisman Art Museum in 2014.

The Medtronic TC 10 Mile Course

The Shortcut to the Capitol®

The 2014 Medtronic TC 10 Mile course was altered from its usual route due to a road closure on West River Parkway caused by a June mudslide. The coursed crossed the Mississippi River using the Dinkytown Bridge and followed East River Parkway until it met the original course at Franklin Avenue. Regrettably, runners ran a short course this year due to an error with the barricades and lead vehicles, which led runners past 11th Avenue on West River Parkway, cutting 0.14 miles off the 10 mile course. Runners re-joined the correct course when they turned on 13th Avenue. .

The Media Challenge

The Media Challenge offered members of the media an opportunity to gather with colleagues for friendly competition and an opportunity for guaranteed entry into one of the most popular races in the Twin Cities. Each Media Challenge team consists of at least four employees. Scoring teams included one female and one masters runner (age 40 or older). A trophy was presented to the fastest team, and teams are recog-nized for growth, participation, and improvement. The Media Challenge is Twin Cities In Motion’s way of providing some fun for those who help share the sto-ry of our events with the community. This year, a record 18 teams — comprising more than 180 runners — competed in the 2014 Media Challenge.

Saturday Events A Day of Fitness and Fun for the Whole Family

Our Saturday program, which began as a single race on a single day, has evolved over the its three decades

into one that includes an array of races for runners of every age. On the Saturday of Medtronic Twin Cities

Marathon Weekend, the TC 10K, presented by Sprint, the TC 5K Run/Walk, presented by Fredrikson & By-

ron, and the Medtronic TC Family Events took center stage on the State Capitol grounds in St. Paul.

Using the same finish area that greeted marathoners and ten mile competitors at the end of their journeys

from Minneapolis to St. Paul on Sunday, the Saturday Events offered all the excitement of marathon day, but

with distances for all ages and abilities. All participants in the TC 10K and TC 5K Run/Walk received a tech-

nical fabric participant and a finishers’ medal. Kids in the Diana Pierce Family Mile, presented by Medica, Half

Mile, presented by KS95, and Toddler Trot receive a kids finishers’ medal and t-shirt. All participants in the

Diaper Dash, presented by Pioneer Press, receive a special participant gift and kids medal.

The day included the Harry & Shelly’s Mascot Invitational, a race between popular Twin Cities-area mascots.

Members of Team USA Minnesota and the University of Minnesota Cross Country teams helped with warm-

ups and presented medals.

Twin Cities In Motion: Year-by-Year

1982: The Tradition Begins

With an entry fee of $6, the inaugural Twin Cities Marathon was met with a fantastic reception and new era for Minnesota distance running was born. Race Director Jack Moran credited the Minnesota Distance Running Association (MDRA), Scandinavia Today, WCCO Radio and The Pillsbury Company, as well as, local running enthusiasts, Skip Burke, Steve Hoag, Bruce Brothers and Larry Haeg for successfully combining the City of the Lakes Marathon (est. 1963 in Minneapolis) and the St. Paul Marathon (est. 1981).

1983: Zachariasen Wins Again

The Twin Cities Marathon nearly doubled its registered participants from its inaugural year, while city officials estimated that the number of spectators reached 200,000. Denmark’s Allan Zachariasen repeated as men’s champion. ON a warm day with high humidity, many participants were awed when Jerry Traylor finished the race on crutches. “Everyone has a dream,” said the West Virginian, “many people don’t believe they can realize those dreams. You owe it to yourself to pursue them.” Traylor, stricken with cerebral palsy from birth, redefined the magic of the marathon.

1984: The Fastest American

Fred Torneden set a course record, which proved the fastest time by an American in 1984. For the first time, the race was held in September. The decision to hold future marathons in October was motivated by the need for one extra week of racing and the greater chances of fall colors to continue the reputation as having a beautiful course. Although the total entries declined — which suggested that the running boom may be over — 32% of the finishers were first time marathoners, actually giving hope to the future of the marathon.

1985: The Men’s Record, a Local Champ

Crediting his coach, who made him cut back his weekly mileage from 140 to 100 miles, Philip Coppess set a course record that was destined to withstand the test of time. His 2:10:05 was the fastest American marathon finish in nearly two years. Jan Ettle of Freeport surprised the women’s field, as she became the first Minnesotan to win an open title at the event. Clive Davis shattered the 70+ age group record with an untouchable 3:04:16. The race hosted 966 first-time marathoners and was the stage for 961 personal records.

1986: USA Championships

Designated as the U.S. Men’s & Women’s Marathon Championships, the Twin Cities Marathon became the first true national championship since the 1984 Olympic Trials and started a long-lasting relationship between the event and the sport’s governing body. The “Pillsbury Prize Purse” of $300,000 was the largest offered in a marathon based solely on performance. Among the 1,500 participants in the inaugural Saturday Fun Run Party 5K at Lake Nokomis were running legends Dick Beardsley, George Sheehan, Hal Higdon and Sister Marion Irvine. Runner’s World called the Twin Cities Marathon, “The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America,” creating a tagline for the event that would endure.

A Long Run Through the History of the Event and the Organization

Twin Cities In Motion: Year-by-Year (cont.)

1987: Cold and Fast

For the third consecutive year, the fastest marathoner in America was the winner of the Twin Cities Marathon. Marty Froelick’s winning time of 2:10:59 marked the third-straight TCM men’s winner to run sub-2:11. The year’s incredible performances confirmed the Twin Cities Marathon ranking as one of the fastest marathons in the U.S. For the second consecutive year, the Twin Cities Marathon boasted the coldest marathon temperature (24 degrees F at the start). The first annual Kids’ One Mile Fun Run proved a huge success.

1988: Bardwell Wins Third Wheeler Title

This year the field limit was set at 6,000 and filled 3 weeks prior to the marathon. Twin Cities Marathon introduced Information Booths at the Fitness Fair, as well as the Start and Finish areas as an added service to its participants. The 14 wheelers claimed the largest field of wheelchair athletes in Twin Cities Marathon history to date. Bart Bardwell won his third straight Twin Cities Marathon wheelchair title in 2:14:05.

1989: A Home for the Masters

Selected as the site of the 1989 The Athletic Congress (TAC) National Masters Championship, Mario Cuevas won the men’s masters division in 2:18:35, while Ngaire Drake captured the female masters division in 2:41:25. Of the total marathon field, 36% were made up of masters, establishing it as a “place to race” for the mature runners. Twin Cities Marathon would continue to value masters running throughout the decades.

1990: A Home at the Dome

Steve Winnick, Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. President, envisioned a continued growth in marathons and knew the event needed a larger venue for the start. He built a relationship with the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission which connected the marathon with its new home, the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. The move allowed the marathon to return to a mass start as in 1982. TAC honored the Twin Cities Marathon as the U.S. selection race for the 1991 World Championship Marathon in Tokyo.

1991: 200 Charter Club Runners, No Employees!

The Twin Cities Marathon was the only event of its size in the country that did not have at least one full-time employee. Earning the first multi-year award in event history, Twin Cities Marathon was chosen by TAC as the National Masters Marathon Championships for men and women for the next five years. Minnesota celebrated as hometown hero Janis Klecker won her first Twin Cities Marathon title. Bob Kempainen, another Minnesota icon, placed second to Malcolm Norwood in the closest finish in Twin Cities Marathon history.

1992: Marry Me at the Wall

Two marathon runners stopped at the ALARC Wall at mile 20 to exchange vows in a wedding ceremony. They finished the marathon as husband and wife. The 5K race was designated as the Road Runners Club of America National Championship. The MedCenters Market Place and Health One Fitness Fair boasted a record 68 expo booths.

1993: Muralt Wins Wheeler Title After Fall

After hitting a pothole and falling out of his chair, Jeffery Muralt still cruised to a wheelchair course record victory. In addition to the USATF National Masters Championship, the Twin Cities Marathon was designated as the Men’s Open National Championship, which attracted a competitive elite field. Olympians Alberto Salazar and Billy Mills joined the field of over 1,000 runners in the RRCA 5K National Championship.

Twin Cities In Motion: Year-by-Year (cont.) 1994: Toddler Trot Added to Kids Events

Recognized as one of the top five marathons in the country, the Twin Cities Marathon embraced its highest ranking ever. In his first attempt at running a marathon, Pablo Sierra posted the fifth fastest time in Twin Cities Marathon history. Olympian and American marathon record holder, Bob Kempainen, won the 5K. A Toddler Trot was added to complement the kids’ events. Doug Kurtis came to the marathon looking for his 75th sub-2:20 marathon. As he crossed the finish line, a time of 2:19:59.4 showed on the clock, however, official times were rounded up to the next whole second and he settled for a 2:20:00.

1995: Oothoudt Wins 5th-Straight Wheeler Title

In this year’s field, participants represented 47 states and 16 countries. Sixteen-hundred were running their first marathon, and a record 32% were women. Fifteen-hundred ran the marathon and 5K and 1,200 kids participated in the Half Mile Fun Run and Toddler Trot. Tami Oothoudt triumphed in an unprecedented fifth consecutive women’s wheelchair championship.

1996: Records for Appell, Mendoza, Sodoma & Keston

Twin Cities Marathon celebrated its 15th annual race with record breaking. Olga Appell established a new women’s course record with her 2:27:59. Saul Mendoza set a wheelchair course record by over five minutes with 1:35:21, while DeAnna Sodoma became the first women’s wheeler to break the 2-hour barrier at 1:54:50. Perhaps most remarkably, John Keston, age 71, set a world age-group record becoming the fastest 70+ marathoner ever at 3:00:58. After 15 editions of the marathon, 106 participants remained in the Charter Club.

1997: Mendoza Defends and Breaks Own Record

Known as the year of the heat, afternoon highs soared to 77 degrees, which kept the medical team busier than ever. Despite the heat, Saul Mendoza defended his wheelchair title and broke his own course record. Olympian and Minnesota elite runner, Steve Plasencia took home the men’s masters title with 2:19:06. This also marked the first year of the mail-in silent auction for 100 additional entries into the closed out marathon. Between the silent auction and the Celebrity Mile, Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. raised more than $22,000 for charity.

1998: Timing Chips and Diaper Dashers Added

Ranked as the #2 destination marathon in North America by The Ultimate Guide to Marathons, the field filled a month faster than ever. Manual timing was replaced by the computer chip system for results, becoming the first marathon in the Midwest to use this state-of-the-art timing system. St. Paul native Bev Docherty, won the USATF National Masters Women’s Championship and took home nearly $10,000 due to the Twin Cities Marathon, Inc.’s decision to allow masters runners to collect prize money in more than one division. The Diaper Dash was added to the Saturday Running Events, creating a complete family atmosphere.

1999: Musuva Three-Peats, Pawelek Takes USA Title

Andrew Musuva won his third consecutive Twin Cities Marathon and became the first three-time overall champion. Kim Pawelek surprised the women’s field with a win in just her second marathon attempt, winning the USA Marathon title to boot. Charlie Mahler and Kelly Keeler won the inaugural ten mile race. Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. officials hosted its first Registration Kick-Off Event, offering the local running community the opportunity to register early for the marathon.

2000: A Sprint to the Finish

As the men’s lead pack passed the 25-mile mark, incredibly it was still an 8-person race for the men’s marathon title. The final sprint began just after the 26-mile mark, near the St. Paul Cathedral, as six men finished within 13 seconds of winner Sergei Fedotov. Tami Oothoudt claimed an unprecedented seventh victory in the women’s wheeler division. Also this year, the Twin Cities Marathon High School Scholarship was established, a Twin Cities Marathon Training Team Network was formed to help build the local running community, and Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. hosted a Summer Training Station that provided water and sports drink to runners on their training runs. The organization’s office moved to the Calhoun Beach Club, located on the marathon course near Mile 4, housing a just-hired staff of three.

2001: Triumphs Amid a National Tragedy

Despite being held shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, the 20th Annual Twin Cities Marathon had many highlights: the marathon filled in just 19 days while the TC 10 Mile filled within 24 hours; Joel Lancaster became the 100,000th participant to cross the finish line; the Twin Cities Marathon Charter Club boasted 89 runners who had finished all 20 marathons; and $53,000 was raised for Twin Cities Marathon Charities including the Twin Towers Fund. Joshua Kipkemboi became the first masters runner in Twin Cities Marathon history to claim the overall individual championship. Zinaida Semenova shattered the open women’s course record, while Irina Bogacheva followed suit in breaking the master women’s course record (2:31:02). Saul Mendoza cruised to his fourth wheelchair title.

2002: Dan Browne’s Debut Victory

Twin Cities Marathon was honored to be only the second race in history to play host to the USA Marathon Championships for all three divisions, women’s, men’s, and masters. This excitement carried over into the community as the race filled in only 14 days. Eighty-one Twin Cities Marathon Charter Club members finished this year, having run over 44,000 miles on the marathon course combined. Dan Browne had quite the day earning a victory in his marathon debut. In the men’s wheelchair division Tony Iniguez managed to win after suffering a flat tire. Off the course, Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. community contributions raised over $25,000 in charitable donations plus $110,000 of in-kind items including food and clothing.

2003: Russell’s Runaway

The phenomenal weather race weekend topped off the weekend of events for over 13,000 participants, 5,000 volunteers, and well over 250,000 spectators. Blake Russell amazed the 250,000 plus crowd of spectators when she pushed the pace against a strong international field, and won in her debut marathon with an Olympic “A” qualifying time at 2:30:41. A new wave start helped ease congestion at the start line, giving runners a chance to show all of their running potential.

2004: Permitina Ties the Women’s Record

A cool 48-degree morning was just what Irina Permitina needed to tie the Twin Cities Marathon women’s course record at 2:26:51. This year, the middle-of-the-pack prizes debuted, and 10 lucky finishers were awarded a 2005 Twin Cities Marathon entry form and $300 cash. Governor Tim Pawlenty finished his second Twin Cities Marathon, confirming himself as the only sitting governor to complete the race. Chad Johnson amazed ten mile spectators by winning the race in 48:44, over a minute faster than all other contenders. Sara Wells took the women’s ten mile after only training for four weeks due to an injury. The same hard work found on the courses was reflected in this year’s community partner’s fund raising efforts, where $30,000 was raised.

52

2005: Hussein Sweeps to Titles

Whipping winds and thick humidity tested the will and strength of 10,561 marathon entrants this year. Despite the harsh weather, Nicole Aish was able to run, and win, her first marathon ever at 2:40:30. Mbarak Hussein took the open and masters titles with his winning time of 2:18:28. The marathon was honored to be designated by USA Track & Field as the only site in 2005 for athletes to qualify for the 2008 U.S. Olympics Marathon Trials. Three men and 12 women qualified including Joan Benoit Samuelson, the 1984 Gold Medal winner in the first women’s Olympic marathon. Then-Governor Pawlenty completed his third Twin Cities Marathon in a personal record time of 3:43:34.

2006: Medtronic Becomes a Marathoner

The 25th running of The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America® was truly a recognition of all that has made the marathon what it is since 1982, as well as an introduction of a great new era with the addition of a title sponsor, Medtronic. A cool, but sunny day formed the setting for three USA Championships: men’s and women’s open and masters divisions. Returning men’s open and masters champion Mbarak Hussein successfully defended both titles with a marathon finishing time of 2:13:52, giving him the total prize purse of $39,000. Two-time Olympian Marla Runyan took the women’s title running 2:32:17. Her win netted $30,000. Medtronic’s Global Heroes and Triumphant Soles Award Programs were introduced. The programs honored 19 people who run with physical challenges.

2007: Media Challenge Debuts

2007 brought tremendous new additions. In May, a cross-country event at Como Park was added to the Medtronic TC Kids Marathon program. Race weekend also had new inclusions. The USA Men’s 10 Mile Championship was held as part of the Medtronic TC 10 Mile. The field was filled with the nation’s top ten-milers, including winner Abdi Abdirahman, who picked up his third successive championship title. The Medtronic TC 10 Mile Media Challenge was also introduced. In its inaugural year, the event welcomed eight teams from the local media, with Star Tribune picking up the nod for fastest overall time. The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon again hosted the USA Masters Marathon Championships for the 18th consecutive year.

2008: Duluth’s Goucher Wins the USA 10 Mile Championship

In 2008, there were 7,979 finishers in the 27th annual Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, moving the event into the 9th largest spot in the nation in terms of marathon finishers. With an emotional finish, Fernando Cabada took first place in the USA Men’s Marathon Championship, followed by Team USA Minnesota’s Matt Gabrielson in second. Duluth native Kara Goucher out-ran Team USA Minnesota’s Katie McGregor for the USA Women’s 10 Mile Championship in the Medtronic TC 10 Mile.

2009: Twin Cities In Motion After 28 years of sharing its name with the marathon, Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. became Twin Cities In Motion (TCM). 2009 proved to be a record-breaking year. On May 7, the 4:00 mile was broken for the first time in Minnesota by David Torrence (3:59.3) at the Medtronic TC 1 Mile. On October 4, Abdi Abdirahman set a new course record in the Medtronic TC 10 Mile in 46:35. Jason Hartmann won the marathon with 2:12:16 despite stopping to pick up a dropped water bottle at mile 23! Ilsa Paulson claimed the USA Women’s Marathon Championship title with 2:31:48. A 10K race was added to the weekend of events.

2010: Deba Accomplishes Grandma’s/Twin Cities Double

Perfect weather conditions set the stage for exciting races on Sunday. In the USA Women’s 10 Mile Championship, hometown favorite Katie McGregor secured her sixth win at the Medtronic TC 10 Mile. In the marathon, Sergio Reyes captured the USA Men’s Marathon Championship title in 2:14:02 after having finished a disappointing 59th in 2009. In the women’s race, Buzunesh Deba was on pace to best the course record but finished in 2:27:23. Still, she became the first woman to win Minnesota two signature marathons in a single year. Deba won Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth in June before winning in the Twin Cities in October — a feat marathon announcers dubbed the ‘Snow Crown.’ In the USA Masters Marathon Championships, former open champion Mbarak Hussein claimed the title and a new age group (45-49) record in 2:16:57. Wheeler Saul Mendoza claimed a record seventh win in the marathon with a time of 1:41:58.

2011: The Women Race the Men

Medtronic TC 10 Mile hosted the USA Men’s and Women’s 10 Mile Championships which feature an equalizer bonus for the first champion — male or female — across the finish line. Men’s champ Mo Trafeh was able to overcome the seven-minute head start given to women’s winner Janet Bawcom and the rest of the women’s field, earning $10,000 for doing so. In the marathon, Kenya’s Sammy Malakwen, who has made a second home in Two Harbors, Minnesota while racing in the United States, won the men’s title in 2:13:11. Yeshimebet Bifa of Ethiopia won the women’s title in 2:28:24.

2012: Hot Racing on a Cold Day Race morning dawned cold, but the top racers in the ten mile and marathon field provided some hot race, once they warmed up, that is. Mo Trafeh won his second USA Men’s 10 Mile title and again edged women’s champion Janet Bawcom for the $10,000 equalizer prize. Christopher Kipyego won the men’s marathon by only nine seconds in 2:14:53, while women’s champ Jeannette Faber won in a personal best 2:32:37. The year marked the 10th running of the Diana Pierce Family Mile and celebrated Medtronic’s renewal as title sponsor for an additional three years, committing to what will be a decade-long partnership in 2015.

2013: Scaroni Breaks Women’s Wheeler Record

Susannah Scaroni of Urbana, Ill. established a new women’s wheelchair course record, clocking 1:54:37, bettering DeAnna Sodoma’s 1996 course record by 13 seconds. Nick Arciniaga of Flagstaff, Ariz. and former Minnesota resident Anne Bersagel won USA Marathon titles. Two-time Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon champ Mbarak Hussein win an unprecedented 4th USA Master Marathon crown, while Sheri Piers, the 2011 USA Masters champ reclaimed her title. Two hundred and fifty runners participated in the inaugural TC Loony Challenge, a race series composed of the TC 10K, TC 5K, and Medtronic TC 10 Mile — 19.3 miles of racing in two days!

2014: Topping the 30,000 Mark

First-time marathoner Tyler Pennel of Blowing Rock, N.C. won the men’s title at the 33rd running of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, clocking 2:13:32. Esther Erb (Richmond, Va.) topped her third-place finish in 2013, winning the women’s title in 2:34:00. Joshua George (Champaign, Ill.) and Susannah Scaroni (Urbana, Ill.) defended their wheeler crowns. More than 1100 runners participated in one of five Twin Cities In Motion race series that culminated in marathon weekend events.

children in need for entry into its TC Kids events. Last year, 884 kids received scholarships to participate in TCM events.
