Course runs alongside the Mississippi River, offering picturesque views throughout.
B.A.A. downhill indexing may apply. For 2027 Boston registration and beyond, certified courses with 1,500+ ft net downhill receive a +5:00 or +10:00 adjustment, and courses with 6,000+ ft net downhill are not eligible.
This gently sloping landscape provides not just a scenic run but an opportunity to push the limits of your pacing.
BMQR course profile: Downhill.
To maximize your chances for a BQ, take advantage of the downhill sections early in the race, but avoid overexerting yourself; save energy for the second half. Focus on maintaining a consistent effort rather than speed, especially as the terrain flattens out in segments.
