Course Map
The Heart of the City Half Marathon is a USATF certified course. The run begins at Burnsville High School, 600 E. Hwy 13 in Burnsville, Minnesota. The runners proceed on south on Portland Avenue to the frontage road along Highway 13 where they curve around to Riverwood Drive and continue north to Cliff Road where they turn left and run north along the Wildlife Refuge area (on the paved bike path for approximately ½ a mile) until they come to Black Dog Road where they will turn right and proceed east along the Minnesota River near Black Dog Lake. They run on Black Dog Road to the Jens Casperson Park area (near Cedar Avenue/Hwy 77) where there will be a turn-around area. At the turn-around area, we will have a deejay set up playing music and we encourage spectators to go to this turn-around point to cheer on the runners. The runners then proceed back the same way from where they came. The finish line will be located at the Cliff Fen Park on Cliff Road, which provides a flat and fast finish for runners.
