For those of us not fortunate or not fit enough to have run the Twin Cities Marathon, this video gives a complete overview of the course in under three minutes.
And you won’t even get out of breath watching it.
The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon was held today in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area of Minnesota. This is the area that the marathon takes its name from.
Buzunesh Deba of Ethiopia won the women’s marathon this year in a time of 2:27:24. She beat the second placed runner by a whopping eight minutes, so this anything but a close finish.
The men’s marathon was much closer, however, with Sergio Reyes of California finishing in 2:14:02, just seven seconds ahead of second.
I could probably run this course but it would take me two days rather than two hours. So I think I’ll stick to the car.
