Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon

St. Joseph, MN
Saturday, May 4, 2024

Description

The Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon course is fast, and picturesque. The course primarily runs through rural areas except when it travels through the four small towns along the route.

One mile after the start, the course turns onto the trail and then continues on the trail to the finish.

The course has a net downhill from start to finish with only a very slight, gradual change in elevation from approximately mile 3 to mile 14.

The Lake Wobegon Trail is a 10 foot wide asphalt bike trail on a former railroad bed. The trail is smooth and has no canter. There is very little elevation change at any time along the entire length of the course.
