Lake Geneva Extreme Sports presents the 2009 Adventure Race and Marathon
 

The city of Lake Geneva has been a Mecca for tourists since the late 1800's and Geneva Lake is "one of the great blue lakes of the world." Together they provide the ideal setting for unique running experience.  

The Lake Geneva Marathon and associated races is in its 24th year. The Series consists of a USAT&F certified marathon, a 22-mile Euro Cross-Country marathon on the famous Lake Geneva path, Half Marathon (new), 10K, and 5K road races, a marathon walk and an Adventure race (12 mile Kayak and 8 mile run). In 1993, the Lake Geneva Marathon was chosen by Runner's World magazine as the best small race in the country.

The course is a challenging and picturesque route around the perimeter of Geneva Lake. The scenic views and unbelievable hills combined with a final run on an ancient Indian trail set the stage for a very memorable marathon. The marathon will be both demanding for the best runners and an opportunity not to be missed for those runners looking for the ultimate marathon challenge.

The Lake Geneva Extreme Adventure Race will consist of a brutal cross country race along the north shore of Lake Geneva, beginning in downtown Library Park. The shore path utilized for the 8 mile cross country race is the original path established by Chief Big Foot and the Potawatomie Indian tribe who lived on the western shore of Lake Geneva in the 1800's. The foot race will be followed by a demanding and cold 12 mile kayak race along the shores of Lake Geneva.
