About the Pike Lake Races
Pike Lake Golf & Beach Club sits right on the water, and the course makes the most of it. The terrain rolls through the area around the lake, with enough elevation change to keep things honest without turning into a suffer fest. The finish brings you back to the beach side of the club, where the lake is right there in front of you.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at Duluth Running Co., with race-morning pickup at the Golf & Beach Club. Parking is at the elementary school nearby and along Martin Road, not at the club itself. After the race, there is a full breakfast and a cash bar inside the event center, with Bloody Marys and a view of the water.

The Pike Lake Races has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
