The Forest Lake Area Trail System’s annual half marathon is back in Kirksville on Saturday, Oct. 3, with an 8:30 a.m. start at the Thousand Hills State Park Marina and a point-to-point finish at Jackson Stables. The 13.1-mile trail course follows the shores of Forest Lake through hills, rocks, roots, stretches of fast singletrack and some water crossings, with seven aid stations along the way, age-group awards and prize money, and custom finisher medals. Online registration is open through Oct. 1 at 11:59 p.m., with race-day details available on FLATS’ own site.
