About the Wonderful Water Run
The Wonderful Water Run is an all-volunteer nonprofit race that directs its proceeds to conservation work in central Wisconsin, including groundwater protection through a regional land trust. The half marathon anchors a small-town race morning, with a 10K, 5K, and kids run rounding out the weekend.
Course
The route starts at Pfiffner Pioneer Park on the Wisconsin River and follows city trails and quiet roads past the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and Lake Joanis. Expect paved paths, park scenery, and mostly flat riverside running.
Race-day weather
Late September in Stevens Point often starts in the 40s and stays cool along the river. Rain and wind are the more likely stressors, and shaded trail sections hold the morning chill.
