The Scheels Healthy Human Race 13.1-mile certified course begins in downtown Rochester and runs through the historic Mayo Clinic campus before transitioning to bike paths and running trails adjacent to Cascade Creek, Cascade Lake, Bamber Lake, Bear Creek, and the Zumbro River. You’ll experience it all on this one course: neighbors cheering on the city streets, geese floating on the lakes and rivers, the cool silence of the deep forest, and the roar of the crowds at the start and the finish.
