8 Mile & Half Marathon Run
Experience the scenic beauty of Lac la Belle on this stunning 8-Mile and Half Marathon course. Starting at the Village Green in downtown Oconomowoc, runners head north along the picturesque isthmus between Fowler Lake and Lac la Belle. The route then winds west into the charming Village of Lac la Belle, skirting the shoreline before venturing into the serene countryside. On the return, runners once again follow the lake’s western edge, enjoying lake views all the way back to Wisconsin Avenue. From there, it's a fast, flat sprint to the finish line at City Beach, right on the shores of Lac la Belle.
