Scenes from the 2016 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon
On Sunday, 8,551 runners finished the 35th running of the the self-proclaimed "Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America."
After 31 years, Phil Coppess, the humble factory worker from Iowa, is no longer the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon record holder. Kenya’s Dominic Ondoro broke the record set by Coppess in 1985 by more than a minute, stopping the clock at 2:08:51. In the women’s competition, Kenya’s Jane Kibii avenged her four-second defeat last year, winning in 2:30:01. In all, 8,551 runners finished the 35th running of the the self-proclaimed “Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America.” An additional 9,202 runners competed in the Medtronic TC 10 Mile race.
