The Sunset Safari 10k combines about 5.0 miles of road with a 1.2 mile trail section through Harrington Beach State Park on the Snow Runners LTD snowmobile trail. The trail portion is a mowed grass path with some rolling hills, wildlife sightings, varied scenery, and some elevation changes. The park section may contain a few wet areas.

The Lakeview Half Marathon runs through rural areas and along views of Lake Michigan, farms, a buffalo farm, and a loop through the old mining town of Stonehaven in Harrington Beach State Park. Wildlife and Quarry Lake are noted features along the course.
