Twin Cities Marathon weekend has such a soft spot in my heart! I have run the 10-miler twice and the marathon five times! Looking back on over a decade of the race <3
2011: 10 Mile {1:19:07}
Flew in and stayed at a friend’s house! Ran the race and enjoyed the weather before flying back to Kansas City!
2012: Marathon {4:21:05} – my second marathon!
Link to post here. Was so happy to see family on the course!
2013: Course marshal
Course marshaled as we were running Chicago the next weekend!
2014: Marathon {4:28:59}
Was hurting pretty badly in this one.
2015: course marshal
Course marshaled since I had the Honolulu Marathon in December.
2016: Marathon {3:33:04} – my first BQ!

2017: Marathon {4:09:35}

2018: Marathon {4:17:29} – my last marathon before having kiddos
Joel ran the 10 mile, I ran the full! I crashed, like normal, but enjoyed as much as I could.
2019: cheered on the race with Hailey
We parked at a friends house and then walked the stroller down. We went to eat breakfast at Longfellow Grill and then stopped at another friend house that had just moved in along the course to watch friends. Thankfully, Hailey wanted to nap that afternoon because we all needed it.
2020: COVID
No racing this year, as the whole world was still shut down
2021: 10 Mile {1:47:19}
Link to my race recap This was fun, I ran with a friend and the kiddos came out to watch!
2022: cheered on the race with the kiddos
It was a beautiful day to watch! We swung by a friends house (the same one I ran the 10 mile with the year before) and then headed down to the course. The kids loved cheering and ringing the bell.
2023: no plans to run but race was cancelled
It was a hot one out there…
