What's an Indoor Fun Run?

The Medtronic TC Kids Marathon provides three culminating events to celebrate the end of each 12-week cycle of training. In February, we host a kids-only Indoor Fun Run at the University of Minnesota Field House. The Field House contains an indoor 200 meter track that is used by the Big Ten Athletes to host their Conference Meet and where the Gopher athletes practice during the season.
This event, which consists of Half Mile and Mile runs, gives your young athletes a chance to check their fitness levels in the cold, frosty winter. It gives them a chance to run with others of their own age and point to the spring season when they can finally get back outdoors. Warm-ups are conducted by Gopher Women Track Team members and Team USA Minnesota runners who inspire great runs with interactions on the track. Radio Disney will be providing entertainment and fun promotions.

Each young runner will receive a medal and participant gift. The fee is only $10 if registering in advance. $15 on race day. Limited scholarships are available. Registration opens in December.

Please note that the first race (both the Half Mile and Mile run together) is scheduled for 9:00 am and we anticipate the next race running about 15 minutes later. We will be running the youngest age group first which is Preschool- grade 1. and then ascending grades will follow.
