SCHEDULE

​

Marked by beautiful views and a country feel, the Circle the Lake Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k will take you along the shores of Circle Lake in rural Rice County, MN. Located just 20 minutes south of Burnsville, MN, these courses are run over rolling hills on a mix of paved and dirt roads. It is possible to spot bald eagles, osprey, deer, ducks, pelicans, and to hear the hum of a distant tractor. Runners will have views of the island in Circle Lake, home to many species of wildlife. These courses are open to competitive racers, families, dogs, kids, seniors, and are Ear Bud friendly. We start and end at the historic Millersburg School House and you will follow the same route the Jesse James Gang once traveled.

The Half Marathon is held two weeks before the Twins Cities Marathon, making it perfect for those of you training for that race. Our half marathon is tough and will test your mettle. There are several big hills that will challenge you! All races will be chip-timed. There will be posted mile markers and water/sports drinks will be available throughout the course.

All racers registered prior to August 24th will get a commemorative men's t-shirt or women's tank top. We cannot guarantee a t-shirt or tank top for registrations posted after that date. Medals will be awarded to all finishers. We will also have a prize for the male and female winners of each race
