I appreciate how well-organized this race is—and the timing is perfect for kicking off summer training in the twin cities. Minnehaha falls and the river road are beautiful even on a drizzly day. One thought: I’d love a woman’s fit shirt!

The medal is insane. Course had two out and backs which was a little boring. Friendly production. T-shirt wasn’t great. Great volunteers. Not a lot of spectators outside of volunteers. … MORE

I loved this race. Great crowds and well organized. Loved the portion along the river. Many hotels near the start line so it was easy to get to the start. MORE

Mostly it was on me (I wasn’t well enough trained), but there were some things about Grandma’s that made it hard for me. First, getting to the start line. Second, it was incredibly humid. Third, I was near the back and a lot of the latter aid stations were packing up when I got there. Also, I can’t say I loved the swag.

I ran this almost 20 years before writing this review, but I remember it very fondly and hope to run it again. The fall leaves are stunning and the course shows off the prettiest parts of the cities.
