Couldn't agree more!!!! Unbelievably scenic!!! You run around numerous lakes starting in Minneapolis and finishing the last 6 miles down Summit Ave in St. Paul which is lined with old mansion homes, finishing at the State Capitol Building...it's amazing!
Actually it's ALONG a lake, Lake Superior that is, the course runs right along the lake but it goes straight the entire time from Two Harbors to Duluth...kind of boring however lots of potential for fast times, flat run despite 1 monster hill at about mile 23 that kills most....
