Wisconsin Marathon, Half Marathon & 5k
The Wisconsin Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K begins near the Kenosha Civil War Museum, at 1st and 54th, with all three distances set for a 7:00 a.m. start. This spring race takes place on Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan shore, featuring a full marathon, half marathon, and 5K on the same morning. YASH Technologies presents the event, which sees enough demand that the 5K can sell out and the marathon may reach its participant limit before registration closes. The marathon and half marathon courses offer lake views and now consist entirely of paved surfaces, with gravel sections removed. The marathon follows a double-loop course, supported by pace groups from 3:30 through 6:00 and an early-start option for those needing additional time. The 5K also provides an early start, 25 minutes before the main field, and its route has been revised. Marathon and half marathon finishers will receive the race’s Big Cheese Medal, and 5K finishers also get medals. Packet pickup is available in Chicagoland, the Milwaukee area, Kenosha, and on race day, with packet mailing offered for advance handling.
