Set among the mostly flat and forgiving terrain of Minnesota’s lake country, the annual springtime running of Nisswa’s Run For The Lakes Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K takes runners on a tour of this area’s innumerable scenic lakes and waterways, along quiet country roads and tree-lined forest areas with plentiful wildlife in the woods nearby.
The half marathon race, which follows what is roughly a figure-8-shaped (or snowman-shaped) course that finishes near the Nisswa Community Center on Main Street, starts just south of Lower Cullen Lake along Poplar Avenue.
