Overview

During the Community First Fox Cities Marathon presented by Miron Construction weekend of events, we bring together thousands of participants, volunteers, spectators, local businesses and community partners at eight events including a marathon, half marathon, relay marathon, 10K, 5K, kids events and an expo.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Community First Fox Cities Marathon gives back to area non-profits, community partners and running organizations. Over our 34-year history, the event has returned more than $1.3 million to the community.

Course Description

The ThedaCare Half Marathon course features nearly 3 miles of paved trail running, the longest pedestrian bridge in Wisconsin – the 1,600 foot Fox Cities Trestle Trail Bridge, and many more miles of scenic park and waterfront sections of the course! The race begins in front of the Barlow Planetarium in Menasha and continues to make its way through seven Fox Cities communities before finishing at scenic Riverside Park near downtown Neenah. The 13.1 mile route follows the Marathon course until just before Mile 2 where it splits off on its own before rejoining the last 9 miles of the Marathon to the finish line. The course features rolling terrain with only a bridge overpass at mile 2.
