Twin Cities Twilight Relays
The Twin Cities Twilight Relays takes place on July 17, 2026 at Thomas Beach on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis. This is the second annual edition of the event, presented under the slogan We Run Summer.
The race is a four person team relay. Each teammate runs an identical approximately 3.25 mile full loop of Bde Maka Ska, for a total of roughly 13 miles per team. The event is timed and awards are given to top teams in multiple categories.
A Relay Festival is centered at Thomas Beach. The festival area includes team tents, a DJ, a food truck, and an Athletic Brewing nonalcoholic beer garden. All runners start and finish at the festival area.
Registration is organized around team captains. A captain creates and names a team and may set a password to restrict joins; the captain pays the full team registration fee. The listed registration price shows a $190 registration fee and a $210.97 total including taxes and fees. There is also an option to join an existing team that is listed as free; members are expected to reimburse their captain for the team fee.
The event lists fundraising support for the Minneapolis Parks Foundation, showing $242.18 raised toward a $1,000 goal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
