Details
Organized and run to benefit the Swan Lake Christian Camp, a nonprofit
that holds summer and winter camps for children ages 4 through
high-school seniors, the Swan Lake Marathon, Half Marathon &
5.3-Mile Run takes participants on a tour of the lake and nearby
campgrounds of this rural town just outside Sioux Falls. Fast and flat
with little change in elevation throughout the race, the half marathon
begins and ends at the gateway to the camp, where runners are invited
to ring the bell at the finish line as they complete their race.
Designed to be family-friendly, the race also includes a wide range of
activities for the spouses, children, families and friends of those
participating while they run, including frisbee golf, swimming,
canoeing and worship services. The course terrain for both full and
half-marathon runners is a mixture of gravel surfaces and paved roads,
and runners will also need to be ready for
an early start -- to avoid the warmest temperatures of the day, the
marathon and half-marathon races begin at 6:00 AM.
