You need to keep in mind that this race is in December in Minnesota. The weather and course conditions are never great. It is also very crowded, walkers do not abide by that they should start behind runners. So I remind myself it’s about the fun and festive season and should never pay the extra $5 for timing. If you are not a front runner it’s near impossible to get a good time unless you are really good at weaving in and out of walkers and groups stretched across the road on icy roads. It was fun though and most all dress up in the spirit of the season. The medal was cute, the shape of Minnesota as all of the MN run series race medals were this year. The long sleeve tech tee is nice but runs really big. The smallest women’s size was big on me. Coffee, hot chocolate, water and plenty of snacks at the finish were good.
