Flathead Lake Run

Explore a variety of events hosted by the Lakeside-Somers Chamber of Commerce.

July 21st, 2024

Run for the love of Flathead Lake!

This is an exclusive and professionally timed run, the only one along the shores of Flathead Lake! Featuring our popular 5k, in  addition to a 10k and kid’s 1-mile run! 

Our mission for this event is to not only create a fun family-friendly event for our  community, but ultimately to create awareness around protecting and preserving  Flathead Lake. This year, we’ve teamed up with not one, but two incredible local  non-profits with like-minded missions. We are happy to announce a portion of  proceeds will be donated to the Flathead Lake Bio Station and the Flathead Lakers.  Both of these organizations focus on research, stewardship, education and  outreach as a means to provide a voice and advocacy for our spectacular lake. 

With our communities growing all around us, the use of Flathead Lake naturally increases, and our goal is to create increased awareness about the importance of  continued lake health so future generations can continue to enjoy. Flathead Lake is paramount not only to the many forms of life it serves, but to the success of the  small communities surrounding it.  

Proceeds from this event ensure that not only the awareness continues to grow,  but that the visitors it attracts stay for a night or two, buy coffee, beer and goods  from our local, family-owned and operated businesses. 

The 5k and 10k are open to all ages and families (strollers welcome), and the kids  1-mile run is limited to 12 and under. Join us in Volunteer Park on Sunday, July  21st, 2024! Your contribution directly supports Flathead Lake and our beautiful  community to ensure it may be enjoyed for generations to come. 

This event will be held on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at Volunteer Park. All registrants  will be given a Flathead Lake t-shirt; select your size when you register at  FlatheadLakeRun.com. To guarantee your size, please signup prior to July 1.
