Medtronic To Sponsor Twin Cities Marathon  Medtronic and the Twin Cities Marathon will partner to conduct long-term community outreach efforts to promote exercise, wellness and healthy lifestyles in the Twin Cities. As part of that collaborative effort, Medtronic will be the first title sponsor of the Twin Cities Marathon.
Race events will officially kick off April 25 with the Medtronic TC 1 Mile run and marathon registration, and will culminate the weekend of Sept. 29-Oct. 1 with the marathon and associated race activities. "We're delighted to join forces with a hometown institution that so perfectly complements our own community efforts," said Art Collins, Medtronic chairman and CEO. "Medtronic's mission calls for us to improve the health and well-being of the communities where we live and work. Working with this first-class organization and its committed staff and volunteers, we gain a powerful partner to help fulfill that mission." The 2006 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon three-day weekend celebration of fitness includes a 5K run/walk, children's fun runs, pasta dinner, health and fitness expo, and the Medtronic TC 10 Mile, in addition to the marathon. The partnership is a five-year, exclusive agreement with options to extend. In the Media
