Xenia Avenue Marathon

The Xenia Avenue Marathon & Half-Marathon, held annually in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, offers a certified, flat, and fast course ideal for runners seeking a low-key event. Scheduled for July 26, 2025, the race supports the Champlin Park High School Cross Country Running Booster Club, with proceeds aiding local youth runners. Both marathon and half-marathon courses start at Orchard Trail Park and feature multiple loops along the scenic Rush Creek Corridor Trail, including a neighborhood loop on Xenia Avenue and passages through Oak Grove Park.

The event includes chip timing, finisher medals, and awards for top male and female finishers. Parking is available nearby, and the race has an 8-hour time limit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
