The Trail Half Marathon is a beautiful out-and-back course along the lake bed, noted as perfect for those aiming to complete their first half marathon.

This event is designed to be accessible, with multiple distances catering to various abilities, including a relatively flat loop for the marathon and fast, flat out-and-back options for shorter races. The half marathon specifically offers a scenic route ideal for runners looking to achieve personal bests in a picturesque setting.

With a median field size of around 100 finishers and runners typically coming from about seven states, the event fosters a more intimate atmosphere.
