Runners get last minute supplies and prep ahead of the Twin Cities Marathon

SAINT PAUL, Minn. — The Saint Paul RiverCentre was packed on Saturday with runners getting last minute essentials and prep.

It’s the eve of the Twin Cities Marathon, a course that takes runners from Minneapolis to Saint Paul. At the marathon expo, runners can stock up on gels, hydration packs, and shoes.

“In hydration products, you want to look for something that has a good break down, you know a lot of these will have sugar, but they also have electrolytes which helps with sweating,” said John Long with Fleet Feet Minneapolis.
