In April, Minneapolis averages a high of 57°F (14°C) and a low of 38°F (3°C). Most runs feel like about 48°F (9°C) once you factor in a typical morning or evening start, so dress for that number rather than the thermometer. Serious winter cold and warm summers make Minneapolis a true four-season running city.
