First ANNUAL Locke Lake-a-Thon
This is a fun run/walk/ bike around Locke Lake organized by the Locke Lake Colony Association. Created as a fun way to get out and be active in the community. We planned the 4th of July weekend where we figured the most people would be around.
The Event will start at the Lodge/Pool 1 at 43 Colony Dr.
The half finish will be at North Barnstead Beach with parking located on Monroe dr, which is directly across from Varney rd. The half is about 2.5 Miles.
The full will bring you all the way around Locke Lake back to 43 Colony dr and is about 4.5 Miles.
The event will start at 9am sharp on July 4th 2026.
You may bike, walk or run either event.
