Event
Details
Just over 160 runners crossed the finish line in all three races
combined at the spring 2008 running of Medford's Pine Line Marathon,
Half Marathon & 5K, a race that takes runners through the
streets and neighborhoods of this small Wisconsin town and along the
Pine Line Trail, a 26.2-mile-long trail that runs through Taylor and
Price counties in the northern part of the state and is named for both
the white pine that was shipped along the railroad line that once ran
along the trail as well as for the pine trees that line the trail today.
From the race starting line at the
Medford City Park in downtown Medford, most of the race takes
place on the nearby Pine Line Trail. The race begins early -- 8:00 a.m.
sharp, say race organizers -- and day-of-race registration is
permitted. The half marathon takes runners out to a half-way point on
the trail, after which they return back to the finish line along the
same portion of the trail. In addition to the 26.2-mile and 13.1-mile
events for individual runners, the Pine Line race also includes a
marathon relay, a one-mile Children's Dash and a 5K for runners and
walkers.
