BeastLake 5K & Obstacle Course Race

Eastlake Community Church invites you to participate in the 8th Annual Beastlake 5K and Obstacle Course races on Saturday July 4th. This is a community event open to all people, of all fitness levels, from the novice to the hardcore athlete. Choose from one of three events that best suits your fitness and skill level. This event raises fund for Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy.

The BeastLake is back for the 8th year, and we have some new twists along with favorite obstacles from past years. Back for 2026 is a “ stay cool” option to the course that includes a ‘slip n slide” type water slide down part of the course, an option to do the balance beam over an inflatable pool. and an option to run through a section of sprinklers midway through the race.  All the water features are OPTIONAL and designed to bring an additional fun experience to the race.  We will also be having food trucks at this years race with registered 5KOC and 5K participants receiving food vouchers.
