The Mountain Lake Road Race is one of the longest running races in the state of Minnesota! We will be holding our 48th annual race this year. Our event has small town charm with big city production and turnout. Our race is recognized for being well-run and organized. Known for having one of the least expensive registration fees in the state, this Run Mountain Lake event is still able to provide quality t-shirts, chip timing, commemorative medals for the top 3 in each race division, as well as finisher medals, fruit, snacks, and other refreshments. The t-shirt is designed by a local artist, ultimately becoming a collectible item for many.
