The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend runs between Minneapolis and Saint Paul, along the city lakes and the banks of the Mississippi. The marathon course follows tree-lined parkways and parks, with a broadly rolling profile broken by one notable climb late in the race before the finish near the State Capitol. In mid-October, fall color and crisp air are part of the experience.

A build for this distance usually runs 12 to 20 weeks. Counted back from race day, that puts the start somewhere between May 24, 2027 and July 19, 2027.
These ranges are working conventions, not a research finding — no trial has compared plan lengths against each other. What matters more is that the plan was built for the weeks you actually have, rather than shrunk down from a longer one.
