It's time for a new classic. The
Hennepin-Lake Classic has been on the calendar the first Sunday in August since 1978. Due to high event costs in Minneapolis, the classic is getting a makeover this year. The new venue is Como Lake in St Paul, and the
Como Classic will debut on Sunday, August 7.
The event format will morph from the 10K/5K format of the HLC to a 5K/3K event at Como Lake. The 5K is a certified course (same as our Turkey Run course in November) and is part of the
MDRA Grand Prix series. The 3K (just less than two miles) will be a run/walk and is a great tune-up distance for cross country runners getting ready for their fall season.
Special pricing is available for teams of five or more ($5 off) in the TSL Team Challenge, as well as for MDRA Grand Prix members (use the coupon code
MDRA_GP to take another $3 off the fee).
