EVENT DISCONTINUED. From race website: “Altis Endurance Sports thoroughly enjoyed directing six races at Herb Parsons Lake. The Lake trails are fun to run! It was a tough decision to make to end a race that you have started, but Altis Endurance Sports has decided to not conduct any additional races at Herb Parsons due to time constraints.”

The Herb Parsons Trail Marathon and Half Marathon will take place at Herb Parsons Lake. The marathon will start at 8:00 AM and the half marathon will start at 8:30 AM. This is a trail race – an out and back on great single track trail for the half and two out and backs for the marathon. The trail is well shaded with some twists and turns. There are few rocks on the trail, but there are plenty of roots on this very run-able trail. The races start at the west side of the parking lot. The course follows the trail on the west, south and east sides of the Lake. At the 6.56 mile mark runners reach the turnaround aid station at Lakeview Road at which point runners head back to the start. The course will be well marked with arrow signs and flour markings.

I have run the half and the full at Herb Parsons. It was an out and back course with several options to pass on the mostly single track trail. There is no shirt and the medal is not special, but the people are nice and the course is nice, and parking is easy. Temps vary from 11-50 degrees depending on the year…beware 🙂
Happy New Year, now go run!

Don’t trail run much & I know why. Tough course, ‘specially on a freezing day and right after the holidays. I entered to keep my running honest. But it’s a small production & organizers tell you that. No frills, just get out & run. The aid station is awesome, PB&J, cookies, fuel for trail runners. I will run more trials cause I have a score to settle with this one next year!
Funnish out and back out and back race

Small woodsy race on mostly single track. Not many roots, but plenty of minor grade changes to keep your legs and mind working. No shirt and the medal was pretty cheap, but the memory will never fade 🙂
