MD's review of 2014 Race the Lake Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

This was a well run race considering its size and that it was a first time event. The race is mostly rural and scenic. Volunteers and the race director were enthusiastic and helpful. The course is hilly and challenging throughout. Overall a positive experience at a small low key scenic race.
