Lakefront Marathon Reviews


Lakefront Marathon
4.9 Stars from 9 Runners





  Well Organized, Tough Hills

By about 2024


Review

I ran this in 2024. It was extremely well run for a marathon of this size. Lots of pace groups, quick expo pick up, lots of aid stations, tons of volunteers.


Race Tips

I found the course to be difficult. Running uphill over the bridge and being exposed to high winds was tough.


Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

I liked the start area, it was close to many hotels. The marathon started right on time.

There are no corrals. You can wear extra layers in the start area, then hand them to a friend over the small fence. Spectators can line up parallel to the starting area.


5 / 5 Stars

Review

This was my first marathon and it was great. I know I have no frame of reference, however, I have run many other races, so I can say this was well organized, great course, and I would absolutely run it again.


Race Tips

Mostly flat with a few inclines. Lots of downhill to start and around mile 24 onward is mostly downhill.


5 / 5 Stars

Review

Not the fastest of courses but the north woods beauty makes up for it.


Race Tips

Be conservative for the first 1/2 of the marathon and build during the second half which is the fastest part of the course. Watch out for the 1/2 marathon walkers as they may not be watching out for you and you will catch up to them during your run.
