This is the 25th Anniversary of the Med City Marathon!!  We wanted to celebrate so everyone this year will get a JACKET AND A DRAWSTRING BAG saying 25th Year of Med City Marathon!!  Since we had an overwhelming positive response to the 2019 course, we are planning on using the same course again this year!  The first 8 miles are mostly downhill , then the last 5 miles or so are flat along the Zumbro River on the Mayowood Trail to the Mayo Civic Center.  The marathon continuesfrom downtown to run a large loop around Rochester and finishing up on the Mayowood Trail to the finish line.  These are grea new courses that you will LOVE!!!
