About the Wausau Marathon

Wausau Marathon is a straightforward regional marathon for runners who want a smaller Midwestern event. It fills a useful August calendar gap without the scale of a major city race.

Course

The course is based in Wausau and is paired with shorter race distances. Runners should expect a practical road layout and less crowd density than larger fall marathons.

Race-day weather

Late August in central Wisconsin can be mild early but humid by late morning. Conservative pacing and fluids are more important than the calendar suggests.
