The Grand Lake Marathon was a very nice small town race. The organization was great. Frequent communication through emails and Facebook with information about the race. The organizers were responsive to questions. Volunteers were plentiful and friendly. Parking is easy. Post race band was great!
The course is a flat oval through rural roads around Grand Lake. It is very flat over good surfaces. My one small complaint is that there are not very many places where the lake is in view. All in all, a excellent race!

Well-organized, but laid back

I used this race as a workout opposed to racing all out. It was perfect because I signed up really early for a super affordable price and it was a fun way to get in a long run. The race definitely has a small town feel and there isn’t a ton to look at it. You can see the lake some of the race but you also see a lot of corn fields and country roads. However, it is extremely well organized, the swag rocked and for 2018 the weather was extraordinarily nice. They also do the post race beers at a nearby bar/restaurant. The finisher area is on a beautiful part of the lake by a lighthouse which makes for awesome pictures. I would definitely do this race again especially for the price I paid ($30) but I did sign up almost a year in advance.
