Runners get to tour two of Minnesota’s more than 11,000 lakes at the early spring running of the Campwannarun Half Marathon, 11K, 5K & Fun Run, which starts near White Bear Lake and takes runners along the shorelines of both Bald Eagle Lake and the nearby Otter Lake before bringing runners back to the finish line.
Organized by the owners of Tri Fitness athletic store and training center, which is based in White Bear Lake and organizes a series of half marathons, 10Ks and triathlon events throughout the year, the race follows an out-and-back course that starts and finishes along the eastern edge of Bald Eagle Lake, and which they add serves as an excellent training run for runners planning on taking part in the Grandma’s Marathon in June.
