Xenia Avenue Marathon & Half-Marathon 2026
The event is the 7th Annual Xenia Avenue Marathon & Half-Marathon. It is co-sponsored by the Champlin Park High School Cross Country Running Booster Club, with net proceeds supporting the high school and middle school cross country teams.
The event offers a marathon and a half-marathon. Both courses are USATF certified (MN20004RR for the full marathon, MN20003RR for the half-marathon) and described as flat and fast. The courses are multiple loop and out-and-back routes starting at Orchard Trail Park. They incorporate the Rush Creek Corridor Trail, a local neighborhood loop, and sections through Oak Grove Park.
All finishers receive a medal. Awards are given to the top three male and female runners in each event. Runners who register by June 30, 2025, receive a soft cotton/polyester shirt. Chip timing is used, and bibs must be worn visibly on the front of the body. There is an 8-hour time limit for the event.
Packet pickup is available the day before the race at Orchard Trail Park from 4-6 p.m. and on race day starting at 5:30 a.m. Parking is available at Champlin Park High School. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
