About the Duluth Women's 10 Mile

The course drops from Hawk Ridge, where the sunrise spreads across Lake Superior before you take your first step. From there it winds down through a forested road that crosses bridge after bridge over Amity Creek, then flattens out along the lakeshore on the Lakewalk, finishing at a running store near downtown Duluth. The terrain shifts from gravel to pavement as you descend.

Runners are shuttled to the start on Hawk Ridge, so there is a short walk from the drop-off point to the start area. The finish is at a local running store, and post-race festivities are part of the plan. Packet pickup and parking details are best confirmed closer to race day through the event organizers.

Common Questions About the Duluth Women's 10 Mile

Will I finish last at the Duluth Women's 10 Mile?

Almost certainly not. Half the 10 Miles field finished slower than 1:47:05, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:18:12, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Duluth Women's 10 Mile a good first 10 Miles?

A field of 413 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 10 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Duluth Women's 10 Mile?

The 10 Miles winner ran 59:26 while the median finisher took 1:47:05. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
