From the Organizer
Join us for the third annual Lake Life 8K race being held during Summerfest at Hamilton Lake! The race will begin at the Fish Creek Trail head and will take runners and walkers through the beautiful trail that runs next to Fish Creek. This is a flat crushed gravel type surface. The course will then lead runners into the Acres Land Trust grounds where they will get some true trail and grassy field running before heading back to run on the other side of the creek. Come join us on this beautiful unique course and stay to enjoy all of the events the rest of the day at beautiful Hamilton Lake.
