Like in the full marathon, runners follow a point-to-point course at Ashland’s WhistleStop Half Marathon, which starts at Moquah Town Park and finishes with the 26.2-mile route at the Railyard Park. From the starting line, the course follows the Tri-County Corridor for most of the race, through a combination of farmland and residential neighborhoods, with views of the area’s railroad trestles, wetlands, trout streams and the nearby Chequamegon National Forest.
