Lake Burton Fun Run

The Lake Burton Fun Run is an annual athletic event held in Clarkesville, Georgia. The race takes place near the July 4th holiday weekend, often coinciding with local fireworks celebrations. The event features a single distance for participants:

  • 2 Mile running race

The course logistics involve two primary locations near the lake. The starting line is situated at Moccasin Creek State Park. Because of the park's location, participants use parking facilities at Laprade's Marina, located on Shoreline Trail. To facilitate movement between these areas, hay ride shuttles are provided to transport runners from the parking area to the start of the race.

The organizers suggest utilizing car-pooling or boat travel to reach the venue due to the nature of the lakeside location. The event requires pre-registration, which typically opens several months in advance and closes in late June. A registration fee is required to participate in the run.
