The Tomorrow River Trail Half Marathon introduces a scenic point‑to‑point run starting in Plover, Wisconsin, and concluding at Central Waters Brewing Co. in Amherst. A cherished local event, it’s the inaugural edition along this leafy crushed‑limestone trail amid central Wisconsin’s rural landscape.
🏃 Race & Course Experience
The race starts on Twin Towers Drive just north of the Tomorrow River State Trail, winding eastward for over 9.5 miles along the trail before running through charming Amherst Junction, and finishing with a mile into Amherst and the brewery. The route traverses pastoral farmland, wooded sections, and shaded ridge lines with gentle elevation changes but remains mostly flat and grind‑friendly. Aid stations are spaced regularly, providing water and light fuel. Post-race, runners toast their finish at Central Waters with local brews, snacks, and social camaraderie.
🎯 What Makes It Unique
This boutique inaugural half marathon pairs quiet rural beauty with a rewarding finish line at a beloved Wisconsin craft brewery.
