Event overview
The Xenia Avenue Marathon & Half-Marathon is scheduled for Saturday, July 25, 2026, in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The event offers two distances:
- Marathon
- Half-Marathon
The event is co-sponsored by the Champlin Park High School Cross Country Running Booster Club. Net proceeds support the booster club for items such as buses to meets, race meet shelters, team shorts and singlets, and summer mileage awards. There is an 8-hour time limit for the races. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each event. All finishers receive a finisher’s medal. Runners who register by June 30, 2026 will receive a soft cotton/polyester shirt in addition to the medal; later registrants receive the medal only.
