Each race will begin with a 1.656 mile out-and-back stretch along Lake Nokomis. We will then go counter-clockwise around Lake Nokomis, which has been certified at 2.4217 miles per lap for the remainder of all races. The initial out-and-back stretch will allow us to give accurate 50 mile and 100K splits at the start/finish area.
The course, which is only partially shaded, is generally flat with surfaces of dirt, grass, asphalt and one stretch of unavoidable concrete. It is free of vehicles and vehicle crossings, but throughout the race will be shared with non-participating joggers, romantic couples, parents pushing baby strollers, etc. Come to the race expecting to encounter some pedestrian traffic, especially around the beach, concession area and boat landing. Do your part to make a day at the lake a pleasure for everyone.
