FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
With Red, White & Boom! TC Half Marathon, TCM
Celebrates The Fourth With A Bang
Twin Cities In Motion's Newest Event Offers Fitness and Fun for the Fourth
With the inaugural Red, White & Boom! TC Half Marathon, Twin Cities In
Motion, the organizers of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, will create a
patriotic partnership between long distance running and Independence Day
celebration when 3000 runners stride through Northeast Minneapolis on our
nation's birthday.
The Red, White & Boom! TC Half Marathon starts at 6:30 a.m. on July 4th
on historic Main Street near St. Anthony Main and winds its way through
scenic Northeast Minneapolis. On the course, runners will celebrate summer
and the birth of the nation with fellow runners and members of the
Northeast community. At the finish, racers and their friends can celebrate
the holiday in patriotic style at Vic's Restaurant with FINNEGANS beer and
a patriotic post-race feast.
"We think runners at the Red, White & Boom! TC Half Marathon will have
a blast at this event," Twin Cities In Motion executive director Virginia
Brophy Achman said. "Between the course, the neighborhoods, the holiday,
and post-race party, we think this will be an event people will be raving
about until next year's Red, White & Boom!"
There are 150 spots still available for walk-up registration at Marathon
Sports (50th & Penn in Minneapolis) on Thursday, July 1, from 10 a.m.
until 8 p.m. and Friday, July 2, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and at Father
Hennepin Bluffs Park (Main Street SE and 6th Ave SE, Minneapolis) on
Saturday, July 3 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The race is limited to 3000
runners.
Those not running the Red, White & Boom! are asked to consider
participating in the event as a volunteer. The inaugural Red, White &
Boom! TC Half Marathon can still use volunteers who share a passion for
running and a desire for helping others to staff aid stations and serve as
marshals along the course.
"Volunteering is a great way to share in the excitement of the event,"
Brophy Achman said. "Volunteers will receive a "thank you" T-shirt and
earn the appreciation of thousands of runners, the Twin Cities In Motion
staff and everyone involved with this exciting event."
