This last year I wasn't able to run Grandma's marathon in Duluth, MN. I decided to head north up to Winnipeg. The race was wonderful. The people very friendly. The best part was that the course was very flat which was good since I had trained in ND. I found 2 faults with the organization of the race. 1. There were hardly any bathrooms along the way. I had to look for a place open on Sunday morning to use. This took about 3 miles to find. 2. Limited shuttles to and from the race. Our hotel provided a shuttle, which no one knew about and we were told where to catch the shuttle to get back to our room. When we went to get back we did not have a ride. The shuttle never came and we had to beg a ride from someone.
Overall the race was great.

This marathon is flat, and is run throughout the city of Winnipeg. The weather can be unpreditable so make sure you're ready for anything. The finish
line is located in the University track stadium which is first class... I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a friendly run with friendly people...
