I put Bays in quotes with a question mark because it took maybe 7-8 miles before I actually saw water? For some reason when I looked at the course map I thought I would see Lake Minnetonka most of the time. But it was a scenic run all in all. It was tough, lots of hills, but for every up there was a down which was rewarding! The finishers medal is very cool, sparkly! The Tee shirt is cute too. There were only top overall finisher awards. I would do this again, if the date allows me. I would like to give it another chance knowing what to expect with hills and some trail, I’m not a fan of trail. Even though avid trail runners would probably say “what trail?” gravel, sticks, stones and uneven paths slow me down.
