About the Twin Cities Hot Cider Hustle Half Marathon
The Twin Cities stop of the Hot Cider Hustle series brings a half marathon and 5K to Normandale Lake in Bloomington each fall. All Community Events runs the day, and the cider-and-caramel-apple finish table is as much of a draw as the clock for a lot of the field.
Course
Racing stays on paved park paths and roads around Normandale Lake, so the profile is gentle and the turns come regularly. It is a certified 13.1, but runners chasing a time should expect repeated lake scenery rather than a point-to-point tour.
Race-day weather
Mid-October in the Twin Cities usually means a cold start in the 30s or 40s with highs in the 50s. Frost is possible early, and wind across the open lake paths can bite more than the temperature suggests.
