This is a point-to-point course that takes runners from the south shore of Lake Chelan to the north shore and the town of Manson. Runners are transported from Manson (North Shore Bible Church parking lot) to the start line by bus shuttle. The finish area at Manson is located about a half-mile from where the bus shuttles leave from. The event is a USA Track & Field certified race and is a Boston Marathon qualifier.

The course is almost entirely on the roads (primarily Lakeshore Road and Highway 150) that sit adjacent to and are within feet of Lake Chelan. You will be treated to generous and amazing views of the lake as well as views of the North Cascades, the rolling foothills in the immediate vicinity, and numerous wineries. Runners also will traverse through the quaint downtown of Chelan and will end just feet from the lake in Manson.
