Bound for Boston returns to Menomonee Falls, WI, with a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and virtual options—all set on a USATF-certified, super-flat 1-mile loop circling Menomonee Falls High School. Designed for speed and precision, the marathon serves as a Boston qualifying course, while the half marathon is a fast-track opportunity to chase personal bests.
🚀 Runner Experience & Highlights
Both races begin at 6:30 AM CDT, with earlier wave starts at 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM available for those seeking extra pacing time. Each distance involves repeated laps of a pancake-flat course, minimizing turns and elevation changes—ideal for maximizing pace. Water stations are placed at the start/finish only, and participants receive a tech shirt (if registered by August 14), custom finisher medal, and age-group awards. Volunteer recruitment incentives include gift card rewards.
