This popular event invites runners of all levels to Stillwater's scenic Boomer Lake Park to enjoy a fantastic race day. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 51°F and lows around 27°F, alongside a minimal 7% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp and invigorating atmosphere for your run.
The courses, designed as engaging out-and-back routes, wind through the picturesque surroundings of Boomer Lake Park.

A generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit ensures participants can comfortably complete their chosen distance.
As part of the exciting US Road Running Race Series, the Viking race offers more than just a run; it's an experience filled with community spirit. All finishers will proudly receive a unique, themed medal to commemorate their achievement. For those with a flair for fun, a "Best Costume" award adds an extra element of festivity to the event. The race kicks off promptly at 8:00 AM from Shelter #3 at Boomer Lake Park, conveniently located next to the Boomer Park Splash Pad on the west side of the lake.
