Xenia Avenue Marathon & Half-Marathon
The Xenia Avenue Marathon & Half-Marathon is an annual running event held in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, Minnesota. The 2026 edition marks the seventh year of this competition. The event provides a certified course that is flat and fast. Participants have an eight-hour time limit to complete their respective distances.
Participants can choose from the following race distances:
- 26.2 Miles (Full Marathon)
- 13.1 Miles (Half-Marathon)
The event is co-sponsored by the Champlin Park High School Cross Country Running Booster Club. Net proceeds from the registration fees are directed to the booster club to support high school and middle school cross country programs. This funding assists with expenses such as transportation to meets, race shelters, team uniforms, and performance awards.
The race starts at Orchard Trail Park, with parking available across the street at Champlin Park High School. Runners who register by June 30, 2026, receive a cotton-polyester blend shirt and a finisher's medal. Those who register after this date receive a finisher's medal, but no shirt is provided. Competitive awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers in both the marathon and half-marathon categories. Packet pickup is scheduled for the afternoon before the race and on the morning of the event at Orchard Trail Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
