Wisconsin > Rapid Running Wausau Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K & Fun Run
Wausau, WI  •  Saturday, August 25, 2012  •  Course Map

   

 
Runners will make their way through this central Wisconsin city that's filled with trees and hills and surrounded by mountains, lakes and the Wisconsin River that flows through the heart of town at the all-new Rapid Running Wausau Marathon & Half Marathon, which makes its inaugural running in late August 2012 and also features a 5K and a fun run for kids.

All four races will follow out-and-back courses that start and finish in downtown Wausau, a city that's home to nearly 40,000 residents just south of the region known as the Northwoods of Wisconsin. From the starting line on Jefferson Street, runners in the full marathon and half marathon set out on loop courses that take them first through downtown and later into the residential areas south of the city, as well as some long stretches along the river.

The race will cross over the river twice, including the bridge at Stewart Avenue, which links downtown with the River District on the western side of the river, and splits into a pair of bridges (the Slough Bridge and the Falls Bridge) before bringing runners back into downtown to cross the finish line back on Jefferson Street.
