Course Description

The point-to-point course begins near Mall of America Field in downtown Minneapolis and finishes at the State Capitol in Saint Paul. The course winds around four beautiful lakes and both sides of the Mississippi River. While it does have some rolling hills, with a starting and finishing elevation of approximately 840 feet and no climbs over 100 feet long, they aren’t anything you can’t handle. Run past the clanging bells of the St. Paul Cathedral. From there you'll get a specatular view of the State Capitol with a nice downhill to the finish line!
