10K, Half
10/26/19 8:00 am Saturday Welcome to the 5th running of the RunLBL Half Marathon, and 10K! Those of you who have run this event know that it's a beautiful, yet challenging, ROAD course. The 13.1 and 10k both start at Lighthouse Landing, down past the sailboats, along the shoreline of beautiful Kentucky Lake. Runners quickly make their way to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, where we utilize the aptly named Kentucky Lake Scenic Drive. 10k runners turn and return to the finish, while half marathoners continue onward, and into the woods via small camp roads, some paved, some gravel, and a nice, winding, paved bike path, before heading back to Grand Rivers for the finish in front of the Grand Rivers Tourism Office.
Grand Rivers, KY Type: Road
It's like being on a trail without the trip hazards.
