Ride Across Wisconsin is a July cycling event based at Phoenix Park in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with routes that start and finish in the same city. Riders can choose a 175-mile challenge, a century ride, a 60-mile route, or a 12-mile family ride, accommodating serious endurance cyclists as well as younger and newer riders.
The 175-mile, 100-mile, and 60-mile options are loops around Eau Claire, while the family ride stays in town. The event draws cyclists from across the United States and abroad, supports the Wisconsin Bike Fed, and embraces its own straightforward reputation: “Epic, Hard, Worth It!”

Eau Claire Marathon
The Eau Claire Marathon begins and ends at Phoenix Park in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with the Chippewa River nearby influencing much of the route. This yearly paved-road marathon covers 26.2 miles and includes shorter race options, attracting around 5,000 participants. The current iteration of the race has been held since 2009, when Karen and Kevin Drechsel revived the concept after Karen observed how spectators could energize a marathon. RaceRaves has recognized the marathon as Wisconsin’s best multiple times, and the half marathon has received similar accolades.
The course involves 590 feet of elevation gain, but it finishes very close to its starting point, with a net elevation change of only 2 feet. Runners traverse eight bridges, pass through the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire on the Blugold Mile, encounter a musical mile, and reach the Barstow Block Party near mile 23.5. Previous participants have likened the bridges and neighborhood transitions to a Midwestern counterpart of New York City, and one runner compared the campus crowd support to Boston's Boylston Street. Eau Claire hosted an earlier marathon in the 1980s, which featured small fields, a $3 entry fee, and a single advertisement specifying "men and boys only," highlighting how different the current community-wide event feels.

オー・クレアのサイクリング＆ランニングについて
オー・クレア トレーニングノート
ランニング： 地元の人たちはChippewa River State Trailをよく走るよ。ダウンタウンから始まって、Chippewa River沿いに30 milesも舗装路が続くからね。Banbury PlaceとRiver Prairieまでなら2-mileの往復でサクッと行けるし。Carson Park、Putnam Park、Owen Park、それにRiverview Parkとか、公園巡りも飽きないようにできるよ。トレイルランナーならLowes Creek County Parkに行けば、景色も変わって気分転換になるはず。Blue Ox Running Run ClubとかChippewa Valley Trail Runners、Eau Claire Hash House Harriers、Moms On The Run、Indianhead Track Clubなんかが、この辺のランニングコミュニティを盛り上げてくれてるよ。Eau Claire Marathonはメインのレースだし、Festival Foods Turkey Trot Eau Claireは11月の良い刺激になるよね。
サイクリング： 自転車乗りにもここは最高だよ。70+ milesもの舗装されたロードバイク用トレイルが繋がってるし、Lowes Creek County ParkやPinehurst Parkではダートも楽しめる。Chippewa River State TrailはPhoenix Parkから始まって、南西にDurandまで30 milesも続いてるから、base miles稼ぐのも楽勝。Plum Streetのループは9 kmで547 mの登りがあるから、街を出なくてもしっかり上り練ができるんだ。北側はアップダウンが多くて、東側と南側は急坂が続く感じかな。UWEC Triathlon Club Teamもあるから、マルチスポーツやってる人たちも一緒に走れるグループがあるよ。Ride Across Wisconsinがメインイベントで、2026年のルートはPhoenix Parkがスタートとゴールになるみたい。
