Great medium sized race!

I've run this race 5-6 times. It's a great local race. It's big enough for getting a good crowd & small enough to not be overcrowded. Well organized. Great course. Lots of viewing of the Mississippi River.

Great race

I see that there are no reviews of this race since my last one. Did the half today. Half course now goes across 4 steep bridges in 13 miles. But we now go through all 4 cities for the half. Full always did. Be ready for hills. And my previous comment about trains. I was running a mid pack 2:15 half. I cleared the train tracks and literally 5 seconds later bells. Train. The course curved so I could see about a 7 minute delay. But look. Joe is great. High fives for everyone. Race staff is very friendly and cool. Pretty course. Just be aware there are train problems here, including full marathon course.
