Blue Marsh Lake is a man made lake just NW of Reading PA. It is very popular with trail runners due to the approximately 30 miles of marked trail that generally follows the shoreline around the lake.

This FKT attempt puts a stake in the ground for future (I’m sure) much faster attempts that may use alternate routes that still conform to the following guidelines.
