More than $1.4 million was raised this year between the Twin Cities Medtronic Marathon’s 56 charity partners, with final tallies expected in the next several months, according to organizer and nonprofit Twin Cities in Motion.
More than 30,000 people registered for the 2025 run which took place Oct. 3 weekend for its 44th year. The annual race is from downtown Minneapolis to the State Capitol grounds in St. Paul. A total of 7,025 participants completed the marathon and 9,607 others completed the 10-mile run.
Prior to the pandemic, the nonprofit tended to average just under a million dollars raised between 40 to 45 charity partners every year, said Dean Orton, Twin Cities in Motion president. With its initiative Raise the Community Pace, officials hope to reach 100 charity partners and $2.
