About the Medtronic TC Kids Marathon

Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles

Twin Cities Marathon, Inc. and Medtronic have teamed up to create Medtronic TC Kids Marathon, a community-wide effort that inspires healthy lifestyles, especially among children.

Medtronic TC Kids Marathon operates under a simple premise: the sooner we can instill healthy lifestyles in our kids, the better health they will have later in life. A major contributor to a healthy lifestyle is getting regular exercise.

Free Online Training Program for Teachers, Youth Programmers and Parents

Medtronic TC Kids Marathon provides a fun and effective way for teachers, youth programmers and parents to encourage kids to exercise by providing a free, flexible and practical online training program that you build according to your own needs. All that’s needed to start is an adult registering with a valid e-mail address.

The online training program includes 12-week, 8-week and 4-week options, and are recommended for kids in grades K-6. Programs are geared to varied levels of fitness and can be customized for either the classroom environment or for running at home.

Added Fun and Motivation

While you can sign up and start a program anytime, watch for special times throughout the year (like now!) when incentives are offered if you register and participate in certain activities by posted deadlines.

Sign up for a kids training program and receive gift for every participant, and learn about more incentives available from our Sporting Goods Partners.

Events Just For Kids

Regularly-held community running events celebrate training activities by bringing classes and families together in a fun-filled, supportive environment.
