City of Lakes Half Marathon

The City of Lakes Half Marathon takes place in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, on September 12, 2027, on a USATF-certified half marathon course (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) that showcases the city's iconic lakes and ponds as well as its skyline. Fast and flat, it suits experienced runners and first-timers alike.

The field is capped at 1,800 runners, so the race tends to sell out quickly. On race day, an enthusiastic crowd, live music and high-energy cheering drive the atmosphere. Part of the City of Lakes race series, the event includes competitive divisions, charity partnerships, a pre-race expo and post-race celebrations of local spirit.
