The Oval

From the Air

The 2012 National Long Track Marathon will be held on the 1 Kilometer Oval on Lake Bemidji in Bemidji, Minnesota.  The track is located near the Hampton Inn Hotel, on the southwestern side of the lake, and near the historic statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe.

To drive to the oval, access the lake near Paul and Babe (map) near downtown Bemidji, MN.  Once on the lake, stay on the road to your left.

Practice is open at all times, except during racing. This is not a rented sheet of ice- so there is no cost to skate the oval.
