Organized by the Friends of Beeds Lake — a nonprofit devoted to protecting Beeds Lake State Park, best known for its 1930s-era dam built by the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps, which often appears in photographs of this part of the Midwest — the race takes runners on a point-to-point course that starts in Coulter City Park and finishes at the lake, and features a long stretch along the Rolling Prairie Rail Trail. Later, runners make their way along the lakeside roads through the trees before turning onto the causeway that crosses the lake, where they’ll cross the finish line overlooking the lake.
