Nice is the operative word–characteristic of Minnesota:
–Nice people at the start/finish and on the course both cheering and course support
–Nice medal and t-shirt
–Nice policemen and women and fire personnel supporting the course
–Nice course that flows through parks, neighborhoods, under bridges, through tunnels with some wildlife along the way.
Best part – NICE BEER at the finish.

This is a smaller, but well-organized race. Parking is easy, located in lots across the street from the park. Bag drop was a breeze, there were enough porta-potties for the number of runners, so lines were short. The Robbinsdale City Band provided music before the start.
The course is hilly, but I wouldn’t consider any of the hills as being “monsters.” Scenery is a mix of city, residential, and park roads and paths. Volunteer and/or police presence at every major intersection, with the course marked spectacularly with signage that included arrows AND the distance it coordinated with. There was no confusion about where to go, even with the course split for the different distances.
Post-race snacks included bottled water, Propel, bran and blueberry muffins, lemon gelato, and beer from Dangerous Man and Fulton. Shirt is a very soft cotton, casual-wear shirt, and finishers were given a nice medal.
Overall, a great race. I would definitely recommend this one!
