10K Run and Walk Join us for the 2nd annual Paynesville Run and Walk to be held in conjunction with the Paynesville Area Triathlon. Runners and triathletes will share the same course part of the way until the 10K course splits off for a beautiful tour around the lake. All runners should be ready to start once the last triathlete has left the transition area to begin biking. Announcements will be made when it is time to line up at the starting line as well as where to wait prior to the race start. Shirts will only be guaranteed to those who preregister for the race and after that it will be on a first come first serve basis. Be sure to stay for the awards as we have a great collection of door prizes that have been donated by our great sponsors!

We hope to bring people out to recognize and enjoy the splendor this area has to offer.
