Race Information

This is one of the most beautiful and well-known 30K and 10 Mile courses in the Mid-West.  This is a great race to prepare runners for the Grandma's Marathon or for Grandpa's 1/2 Marathon. Both courses are certified, flat and quiet. Many state and national records have been broken at this event and we are expecting many more to fall in the years to come!! 

The Northern Lakes Run will again have the Minnesota Pacers Pace Team for the 2012 30K Run. Want more information on this exciting free offer, click here!

Course Information

Course Information
The 30K course goes around three lakes in the White Bear Lake area and the 10 Mile goes around Bald Eagle Lake.  Even the 5K run is next to the lake for over a third of the event!! The start line will be on Division Street just NE of the high school. There will be mile markers at every mile and water stops about every 2 miles.  The finish line will be at Decoy’s Restaurant parking lot.

 

Background

2012 is the 16th year for the Northern Lakes Run. A portion of the course around Bald Eagle Lake was part of the Twin Cities Marathon.  The peacefulness and beauty of the lake makes for a great run!
