Production
Much of the film was shot on location in Minnesota mostly along the Lake Superior shoreline as well as Iron Range cities such as Floodwood. Although the race takes place between Winnipeg and Saint Paul, none of the film was actually shot in either city. In fact, the Winnipeg starting point for the race was actually filmed in Duluth, Minnesota near the old historic high school. The Lake Superior Railroad Museum, located in Two Harbors, Minnesota, portrayed the St. Paul train station's finish line. All scenes in which Will goes through the mountain terrain was filmed in Montana since, in reality, there are no mountains in Minnesota, aside from the Lutsen Mountains range in northeastern Minnesota.
