This first annual “Barkley” style marathon at Glacial Lakes State Park was inspired by the exciting and rigorous Barkley 100-mile Marathon in Frozen Head State Park in Tennessee. While that particular marathon has inspired books and Netflix documentaries, the Leaf Mountain Foot race will take you through vast prairies, relentless climbs, panoramic vistas, and glacial landforms. The race distances can be done as one, two, or three 6.7 mile loops on trails within the park (you decide how far you want to go when you’re out there).
Registration is open for this event, and it is limited to 80 participants. Find out more information and secure your spot in the race by going to the website and Facebook page.
