My dad and I have both completed this race 5 years (I think he's actually done 6), all of the 10 mile race. I think the main reason is the beautiful course and good weather. It's usually pretty cool still in April in Minnesota but that's my favorite running weather. The course is great as it goes along the river and has a few rolling hills throughout, with a bigger climb near the end around mile 9 which is a nice challenge. My goal always is to not walk up that last hill! I think my favorite is running around TCF stadium and finishing on the football field, and also getting my medal from the men's rowing team :-) The shirts are usually your basic long sleeve, this year they had a different material I wasn't exactly a fan of (just personal preference). They could also step up the post race food game a bit beyond bananas and potato chips...
