Set among the mostly flat and forgiving terrain of Minnesota’s lake country, the annual springtime running of Nisswa’s Run For The Lakes Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K takes runners on a tour of this area’s innumerable scenic lakes and waterways, along quiet country roads and tree-lined forest areas with plentiful wildlife in the woods nearby.
Both the half and the full marathons will start at the same time, and half marathon entrants will need to arrive at the full marathon starting line about 30 minutes early in order to board the shuttles that will ferry them to the half-marathon starting line.
Organizers note that the course is USATF-certified, and the marathon route is a Boston Marathon qualifying race.
