Lake Run Club, established in 1982 is hosting a summer trail run competition consisting of the following events:
12 Hour Sunrise to Sunset, which will be ran as a last man/women standing competition. Will be 54 miles if you complete each of the loops.
*For 2026 the trail run course is slightly longer, with more single track and less of the open grassy fire road sections.
The course consists of a 4.5 mile long course, measured with multiple passes with various Garmin devices. This event you have exactly one hour to run the course. If a runner completes the loop in less than an hour, they are free to relax, refuel, hydrate, and use the facilities. So, if a person does the lap in 45 minutes, they have 15 minutes to wait around. If a runner finishes the 4.5 mile loop in 58 minutes, they have 2 minutes to use at their own discretion. At the top of every hour, on the hour, any runner not making it back from the loop will end their day of running for this race. Bib will be pulled. The following will be required to get to the finish line.

If there are multiple people that complete the distance, the fastest man and fastest women crossing the finish line on this final lap, will be the declared winners, but all that complete the final loop in the before the 6:59:59 PM will receive an award for the 12 hours of running they completed for the event.
