Thanks for the compliment, FS!
The chain of lakes that FoxShadow mentioned definitely come to mind... they are the "athlete's promenade" of the Twin Cities, beautiful and entertaining. Very Twin Cities and you'll catch the local flavor.
Or, maybe you want to come to the other side of the Twin Cities, past St. Paul, and I'll run with you in
Afton State Park.You'll get a good idea of our nature areas---prairie, river, woods, bluffs..... all in one park. There's a permanent orienteering course there too.
I'd also be willing to come out your way and run at
Fort Snelling the other Twin Cities State Park (I've been meaning to run there but haven't yet.) It's along the Mississippi River and probably flatter with a few more people, but closer to you.
For actual city running, you might check out
these routes as ones close to your hotel.
If we end up having an orienteering training exercise during that time maybe you'd like to join.... but nothing's been scheduled yet.
So that's a start. Maybe others (on
that side of town) have comments on these selections or other favorites to share.
Let us know if you want company... would be fun.
