Scenes From the 2015 Twin Cities Marathon

In the week leading up to the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday, October 4, Black Lives Matter of St. Paul, Minnesota, said it would stage a protest at the race and disrupt runners as they neared the finish line. On Thursday, after a meeting with the St. Paul mayor, the group said it would protest but wouldn't interfere with the race. Here, the men's field, including Dominic Ondoro (far left, No. 2), run the marathon course along the Minnehaha Parkway (miles 10 through 12) in Minneapolis. Ondoro was the men's winner, finishing in 2:11:16.
