An estimated 1,200 runners and walkers will traverse Lacamas Lake and Round Lake Sunday in search of beauty, exercise and the thrill of crossing the finish line.

The ninth Fit Right Northwest Lacamas Lake Half Marathon and 4-Miler begins at 7:30 a.m. on the Cardon Field track behind Camas High School, 26900 S.E. 15th St. Race director Dave Sobolik said this event originally started as a launching pad for a new Fit Right store opening in east Vancouver.

"It has grown from just a run and walk to a half marathon and a community engaging event," he said. "We have a lot of local companies, vendors and volunteers involved, and we are going to donate the money we raise to local charities. It's just a real great way for all of us come back together and support each other."
