Wisconsin Marathon Training Button

It’ll be SUPER fun! It isn't a bird or a plane. It is 4,000 runner sweaving through the streets of Kenosha for the 2016 Wisconsin Marathon, HalfMarathon, & 5k! The Wisconsin Marathon & Half Marathon is approaching its 8th annual year as “the cheesiest marathon ever!”. The Kenosha, WI event is recognized as one of the top marathons in the Midwest, and is definitely one of the most fun. The event is part of the Marathons of Wisconsin Series Challenge (along with Fox Cities Marathon, Paavo Nurmi Marathon and the Milwaukee Running Fest), The Great Lakes Marathon Series (along with 24 other marathons), and the Mittens Challenge and Half & Half Challenge (along with the Kalamazoo Marathon). The event this year will take place on Saturday May 7, 2016. You won't need x-ray vision to see the beautiful sites along Lake Michigan as you channel your inner superhero for a 26.2, 13.1, or 5k race throughout the cities of Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie. You may need super strength to carry our famous Big Cheese Medal around your neck when you finish, but you can replenish your super powers with a beer and brat at our post-race party. The live music will help, too. Come on out on Saturday, May 7th where the border meets the lake for a run you won't forget!
