Periscope helps show how the Twin Cities 26.2-miler is more than a marathon

The Twin Cities Marathon isn’t just a 26.2-mile race. It’s also a way to see yourself and the world differently. A path forward. A hard road that can become a springboard for change. To showcase how the race is more than just a marathon, we found three people whose stories embody that idea, and who make it a reality by turning their beliefs into actions.

We brought these stories to life in three films that capture the runner’s point of view, not only of running the beautiful Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon race course, but also of the way they see the race and its place in their lives and community.

Released as the sign-up season for 2022 begins, these stories are meant to inspire and motivate people not only to register for the race, but also to discover how it — and organizer Twin Cities In Motion — can be more than a marathon.
