4th Annual Governor’s Cup
Calling all emergency responders, police, fire and ambulance workers, and military personnel! Form a team for the 4th Annual Governor's Cup and race the TC 5K!
In its 4th year, the Governor’s Cup is a way for Twin Cities In Motion and the Governor of Minnesota to recognize the hard work that you have dedicated to our weekend of events over the last 29 years. It is also a chance for the governor to thank all of you for all that you do for the citizens of Minnesota. The race also recognizes our combined commitment to state-wide health and fitness.
The race works like this: times are collected from each team member, and the lowest three times from each team are tabulated for a total team time. The lowest team time wins the competition, and that team takes home the Governor’s Cup. The top three teams get a monetary donation to their favorite charity. Email catherine@mtcmarathon.org to get your team registered!
