Run the Beautiful Shores of Lake Chelan
We love running! We love our lake!
Welcome to the 2012 Lake Chelan Shore to Shore Marathon, Half-Marathon and 10K — Washington state’s premier destination marathon event! Here’s the date to input, circle, remember: Sept. 8, 2012.
After a year hiatus, the event returned in 2011 under new management. The team is committed to building on this rebirth and to transforming the footrace into one of the best in the Northwest. We cater to the individual runner and pay homage to this oldest of sports. We celebrate the place that is Lake Chelan and the special memories it holds in the hearts of many. We want athletes and community members to remember the day as a positive experience.
We value healthy living and fitness, collaboration, inclusiveness, continued improvement, and commitment to community.
Lake Chelan Shore to Shore Marathon and Half-Marathon are USA Track and Field certified. Both courses begin on the south side of the 55-mile-long lake and follow the shoreline through the quaint town of Chelan and then on to the community of Manson on the lake’s north side. The course is flat with a few rollers. The views of the lake and the Cascade Mountains and vineyards are non-stop.
We also offer a 10-kilometer run that begins and ends in Manson.
To make the three runs a reality, we rely on a dedicated group of volunteers, many of whom are students in the Lake Chelan School District. In exchange for their help, we donate funds to their school-sanctioned groups.
Everyone involved in this event shares a common thread — a love of the sport of long-distance running and of this treasured lake.
