Highline Half Marathon

Join us for the first annual Highline Half Marathon - The Race for Fallen Lineman.

This race will take you around Lake Koronis in Paynesville, MN. The challenging route will test your endurance with many hills, but the beauty along the route will keep you going. You are welcome to participate as an individual, 2-person relay team, or 4-person relay team. Virtual participant is an option as well. The cost for virtual participation will be $5 more than in-person to pay for shipping of the t-shirt.

All proceeds from the race will go to the Fallen Lineman Organization, who's mission is to memorialize fallen electrical line workers, and care for the families who have lost or are impacted by a severe injury of a loved one in the line of duty. They strive to consolidate accident and injury information to share openly for a safer work environment.
