The race begins promptly at 8:00 AM for the half marathon and a bit earlier at 7:40 AM for the kids mile.
The Bohemian Alps Endurance Run Half Marathon has been an annual tradition in Brainard since its inception, celebrating endurance running culture with a focus on scenic routes that showcase the natural beauty of the area. The event supports local charities through participant fees and offers post-race barbeques for all entrants to enjoy. With over 40 years under its belt, this race continues to attract runners who are drawn by both the challenging course and the supportive community atmosphere.
The Bohemian Alps Endurance Run Half Marathon features a half marathon that winds along hilly trails on gravel and dirt roads, with stretches of bike path and off-road cross-country terrain. The 4 mile run offers scenic views over one mile of pavement while traversing mostly unpaved paths through downtown Brainard's City Park area. Both events are renowned for their challenging course layout, which includes water stops every three to four miles.
Weather forecasts indicate that race day temperatures will range between 9 and nearly 20 degrees Celsius with an average temperature around 14.6 degrees. Conditions may be slightly damp due to recent rainfall totals of approximately 1.3 millimeters prior to the event start, but trails are expected to remain firm underfoot despite the slight moisture.
