The Course
The course is a single loop traversing paved roads around beautiful Lutheran Lake. In the first quarter mile of the course, you will head up a large hill gaining approximately 100 feet of elevation. From there, you’ll get to enjoy the flattest stretch of the course for roughly a mile before heading back down another large hill. The second half of the course consists of several steep rolling hills, though nothing quite as big as that first one. The course will start and finish by the Camp Lakeview dining hall.
Overall, the course is challenging but fair. You will finish feeling like you have accomplished something!
SWAG (“Stuff We All Get”)
All runners and walkers who finish the race will receive a custom Hand-Crafted Wooden Finisher Medal. This thing is going to look GREAT on the mantel! Wear it with pride-you conquered the hills! Every kid who does the fun run will also receive a sweet award ribbon to reward their accomplishment.
Race shirts are available to pre-order (to guarantee your size!), or purchase the day of the race. Check out the design above!
The overall male and female winner for the 5K (Run Category) and 5K (Walk Category) will each receive a $30 gift certificate to the Lakeview camp store. Choose from a sweatshirt, hat, t-shirt, Nalgene, frisbee golf disc and more as a reward for your awesomeness!
EVERYONE (whether racing or not) is welcome to help themselves to a delicious brunch after the race. We’ve served everything from biscuits and gravy, breakfast tacos, cinnamon rolls, donuts – we’re talking ALL the good stuff. And this is in addition to some post-race snacks.
While helping yourself to some brunch, consider a free-will donation!
All donations and proceeds from the race go towards scholarships that help kids come to camp for a life-changing experience of hope, community, and faith.
