Event summary

Get ready for an exhilarating running experience at the Who Runs the Lake Challenge, happening on Saturday, February 4, 2023, in the beautiful Myrtle Beach, Horry. This unique event invites participants to test their speed, endurance, and mental fortitude as they tackle one-mile loops around the scenic Grand Park lake. Runners will compete at designated paces ranging from 6:00 to 13:00 minutes per mile, with short rest periods in between laps. The stakes are high, as failure to complete a lap within the set time results in elimination. The ultimate goal? To be crowned the last male and female standing, reigning supreme over the lake!

Not only is this event a thrilling challenge for runners of all levels, but it also supports a great cause. Each registration helps raise funds for Ainsley's Angels of America, promoting inclusivity in the running community. Join the fun, push your limits, and create unforgettable memories with friends at the Who Runs the Lake Challenge!
