USATF CERTIFIED Half Marathon course rarely strays from the waters edge of scenic Storm Lake. This run is primarily flat with little elevation change and makes for a fast course; perfect for a certification run. Our 5k is a nice loop course that circles back and finishes just beyond King's Pointe beach and playground. In addition to a great run on one of the most beautiful courses, you'll get to enjoy the community of Storm Lake. Home to around 30 different languages, the diversity here is amazing and shows in a great selection of restaurants and shops. Come to run and stay to explore and enjoy this place we call home.

HALF MARATHON RELAY- Our Half Marathon Relay offers two-person or four-person team options. Teams are responsible for coordinating their own handoff points along the course, with Lake Pointe Villa serving as an approximate halfway mark. Runners can divide the distance as they see fit, whether splitting it evenly or having one runner cover more ground. The only requirement is to register as either a two-person or four-person relay.

Every runner will get an awesome t-shirt that is high quality and perfect for running gear. All runners will also receive a finisher medal.
