Wausau, WI

Wausau sits in central Wisconsin where the Wisconsin River winds through rolling glacial terrain, making it a solid base for both disciplines. Runners tackle the Wausau Marathon on relatively flat to gently rolling courses around town, while cyclists dominate the region — the Big Bull Falls Grand Fondo is a serious 162.5km event that exploits the elevation changes and backroads throughout Marathon County, with multiple gravel and pavement options. The surrounding landscape of mixed forest and farmland offers countless loop routes from town, and winter running is viable despite Wisconsin's climate.
