Run for the Lakes Marathon


The Run for the Lakes marathon is a race in Nisswa, Minnesota, that was first run in 2008. The race typically takes place in late April.
The race is certified by the USATF, making it a Boston Marathon-qualifying race. The course makes a wide loop around both Lake Hubert and Clark Lake.
In 2017, the marathon had 199 finishers. The 2018 race saw another repeat winner.
The COVID-19 pandemic ended the 11-year streak of consecutive marathon runnings. On March 21, the Brainerd Jaycees announced the cancelation of all the races taking place over the marathon weekend. The organizers hosted a "virtual" marathon event, in which participants could send in their own finish times for a 26.2 distance. Fifty-two people submitted times. The fastest time was Benjamin Haukoos, from Albert Lee, who ran 2:58:51. The fastest woman was Natalie Timmers from Nelson.
