MINNEAPOLIS — There was a disappointing delay Thursday for tens of thousands of runners who were supposed to participate in Twin Cities Marathon races this weekend.

Twin Cities In Motion (TCM), which organizes the marathon, said at the time to expect an update about a "possible credit" by Thursday. But a little after 6 p.m., another note went out that no decision was reached as marathon officials "work through our event cancellation coverage process with our insurer." It said the next update will come by Oct. 20.

The organization canceled the annual Twin Cities Marathon and 10-mile run just hours before it was supposed to begin. The decision came as the metro reached a record high of 92 degrees on Sunday. Normal temperatures for this time of year are in the mid-60s.
