Lake Country Half Marathon
The Lake Country Half Marathon takes place on August 29, 2026, in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The event starts at the Village Green in downtown Oconomowoc and finishes at City Beach on the shores of Lac La Belle. The route follows the isthmus between Fowler Lake and Lac La Belle, passes through the Village of Lac La Belle, and continues on quieter countryside roads while tracing the lake shore.
Available distances and formats:
- Half Marathon
- 8-Mile Run
- 8 Mile Ruck
There are two aid stations on course and an additional aid station at the finish line; all aid stations provide water and Gatorade. Rucking involves walking with a weighted backpack; ruck divisions are timed but not competitive and do not have age group awards. Ruck finishers receive a finisher woodle.
Every finisher receives a custom Lake Country Challenge medal. The top overall male and female in each event receive handcrafted awards from Ridgeway Woodworks. Age group awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in 5-year age groups, with age groups beginning at 0-14.
Packet pickup requires the registration receipt QR code and allows picking up packets for others when a single sheet contains all QR codes or names. T-shirts are gender specific dry-wik and are guaranteed for entries registered by noon on August 14; afterwards shirts are available while supplies last. Pets are not allowed. Refunds are not permitted and the event will be held unless severe weather causes delay or cancellation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
