About the Mile Light Ice Run 5k
The course goes straight out across frozen Moosehead Lake to a landmark called the Mile Light, then turns and comes back the same way. Underfoot, you are on lake ice shaped by the freeze-thaw cycle of late winter, which can pack the surface into something firm and runnable. Course grooming is possible depending on conditions, and the organizers may cancel if the ice is not safe.
This is a fundraiser for the Moosehead Marathon, so the atmosphere is loose and the finish has warm chili. The start is in downtown Greenville.
