Details
Set for its 30th annual running in the spring of 2010, the Wells Fargo
Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon saw more than 1,700 runners cross the
finish line at the 2009 running of the race. Featuring a gorgeously
scenic course that takes runners on a tour of
the bays, waterways and regional park areas that make up Lake
Minnetonka just outside the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
The race
course, which winds around the lake from the town of Wayzata to nearby
Excelsior, follows a point-to-point route that's mostly flat and fast,
and includes many stretches along the shores of the lake.
The course's starting line lies at Wayzata's Wells Fargo Bank (which is
also the race's sponsor) on Superior Boulevard, and takes a mostly
eastward and then southward route along the lake, following a
counter-clockwise direction. All runners -- and the race is open to
runners only -- are limited to 2 hours, 45 minutes on the course, which
will be re-opened to traffic after this time.
