This marathon is put on by Coach Jim Engel to help raise money for veterans organizations. There is no registration fee, but participants are asked to voluntarily donate to a veterans organization. The year I ran, we were asked to donate to the Semper Fi fund. In 2014, the weather was mostly clear, but cool and windy. The course consisted of 9.5 loops around a bike path that circles Sunday Lake. There were 22 finishers in 2014, and each finisher received a river rock that was painted in Native American style like a turtle. It is one of my favorite finisher awards that I have ever received. Jim Engels does this free race as a labor of love, and it really shows. If you like small marathons, then this is one to do.
