The course
Location
City insight: Minneapolis
Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota, USA, and the county seat of Hennepin County, on both banks of the Upper Mississippi River. It had 429,954 residents at the 2020 census and adjoins Saint Paul, the state capital, as part of the Twin Cities. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are hot and humid, so late spring and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
