Details
The full and half marathon course that runs around this southern
Wisconsin town centers around the nine-mile-long Lake Geneva, known as
"one of the great blue lakes of the world," which has been a popular
spot for tourists since the 1800's.
Challenging and scenic, the half begins at the same starting line as
the full at 8:00 a.m. and finishes at Reid Park in nearby Fontana,
taking runners on a tour of glacier-forged hills and along an ancient
native American trail. The weekend also features a marathon relay,
cross-country marathon, 10K and 5K events, and an adventure race with
running and kayaking portions.
