 "Scenic and Fun Trail Race" (about: 2012)
3 previous marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 I ran the 23K at LBL this past weekend. I stayed at Patty's Inn for only $52 three miles fromt he start. I got a room the day before due to a cancellation. The hotel catered to runners4:00 a.m. breakfast, late checkout. The race swag was very good for the entry fee. I got a great technical running hat with my name embroidered on the side, a tech shirt, and a drawstring backpack. Course was very scenic with breathtaking lake views. There were some hills in the 2nd half of the 11.6 mile trail loop, but nothing crazy. We crossed a few small streams, hurdled one downed tree, had a few switchbacks. The small town of Grand Rivers had a few enthusiastic spectators. Patty's Restaurant served a great pork chop the night before the race. Overall, I loved the experience and can't wait to come back for the full marathon next year. | |

| 1 Land Between the Lakes Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I drove up from Mississippi and knew nothing about the race-I had registered to run Kentucky in my 50 state attempt. I was wonderfully surprised. It's a small race, in a very small town. Registration and 'expo' is at the town center, which is a small building that also serves as the library, boy scout hall, VA meeting hall, etc. but wonderfully friendly people, great Marathon hat (my first ever personalized hat -had my name sewn across the side!) Race starts at a picturesque marina, about 70-80 sailboats, and runs 2 miles up road to the trail. Mostly single track, challenging, but smooth, with spectacular, breath taking views. 11 mile loop follows the lakes, and even after a rainy week was in great shape. I stayed dry the whole race and only had to hop over mud a few times. You then run two miles back to town. Simple, beautiful, and elegant in its simplicity. I felt free and happy and appreciative of the return to nature. Great race. big thumbs up ! | |
