"There are two things to discuss the race/course but also that it's a "green" race.
First off, the course and the race itself was great. It helps that the weather was beautiful. But if you're looking for a flat course, or one that is good for a first-timer-- this is it. There are few hills and the ones there are, are very small. The course is about 60-70% shaded too, so the hot August sun didn't beat down on us as much. There were a lot of restrooms along the way plus well-placed water stops. Things were very organized on the front end as well. Packet pickup was smooth and well-run.
This race calls itself Minnesota's Green Race. Your packet comes in a reusable shopping bag, you can get free bus rides to the race, and you can bring old shoes for recycling.
Overall, I would recommend this race to any runner."
