Mainly Marathons Summer Camp Series
Mainly Marathons Summer Camp is a five day running series held July 17–21, 2027, on looped courses in and around St. Cloud, Minnesota. Each day takes place at a different park or preserve with marked laps and course-specific terrain.
Day locations and terrain include Bend in the River Regional Park in Rice with crushed rock and moderate shade; Sauk Rapids Municipal Park with smooth asphalt and a short dead-end road; River Bluffs Regional Park in St. Cloud with smooth asphalt and intermittent shade; and two days at Quarry Park and Nature Preserve in Waite Park on crushed rock and packed dirt with small hills. One Quarry course includes about 200 feet on a floating wood bridge. Tentative marathon lap counts are listed for each site.
Distances offered in the series include:
- Full marathon
- Half marathon
- 10K
- 5K
- 50K
Registration is available online, by mail-in form, or on race day. Entry fees are non-refundable and may not be transferred to another participant. Pets are not allowed; single strollers are permitted though some courses may not be ideal. Walkers are welcome. Organizers operate a large central aid station with a wide variety of food and drink, including a mobile kitchen. Participants must respect park hours and finish at least 30 minutes before park closing; the final day of the series has a 10 hour time limit. A post-series celebration with food and drinks follows the last race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
