Sunday, May 19, 2019 • Minneapolis, MN • Course Map
Get ready for a beautiful 10-mile run along the banks of the Mississippi River where it flows through the heart of the Twin Cities, at a race designed just for women at the heart of the spring season.
You’ll start the route in Minnehaha Regional Park, home to a 53-ft.-high waterfall and scenic limestone bluffs along the river, and from there run the rest of the race almost entirely along the river, on the roadways along either side.
Runners start the out-and-back course for the race in Minnehaha Park, and from there they’ll head north along Godfrey Parkway.
They’ll continue north along West River Parkway, running past the Mississippi Gorge Regional Park as they make their way north along the river, all the way to the turnaround in Riverside Park.
Then, they’ll head back south along West River Parkway to Lake Street, where they’ll cross over the bridge and then head south along Mississippi River Boulevard all the way the Ford Bridge, which they’ll head across to get back into Minnehaha Park for the race finish.
If you’re not up for the 10-miler, the race also offers a 10K and 5K distance for walkers and runners.
