Runners start and finish the out-and-back course for the Prairie du Chien Half Marathon near the corner of Blackhawk Avenue and Villa Louis Road on St. Feriole Island, which lies in the Mississippi River that flows past this small southwestern Wisconsin city. From there, the race takes runners into town and along the riverfront, passing by local landmarks like the Villa Louis Historic Site, the Rock Building and Mulrooney Park.
