Race Director Pat Dwyer
For the 41st time, runners from all over will gather at Clark Lake for this annual event. Traditionally it is held on the same weekend as Raft-O-Rama. This year’s run will take place on Saturday, August 6th.
Run Director Pat Dwyer comments “all runners want to run their best in an Olympic year.” He says Run Clark Lake once again “promises to deliver excitement and memories.” That could certainly be said of last year’s Run Clark Lake. Famed marathon champion Bill Rodgers was a crowd favorite the night before, and participated in the race the next day. To review the 2015 race, click here.
