For those looking to cover less distance but still enjoy stunning views of Northwoods scenery, the Half Marathon starts at the intersection of Lakewood Road and Bearskin Trail. Runners will traverse beautiful terrain through the heart of the Northwoods before reaching the finish line on the trestle bridge in Minocqua.
The 5K race begins near Torpy Park in downtown Minocqua, taking runners along a picturesque loop around Lake Minocqua before joining the Bearskin Trail for the final stretch to the iconic trestle bridge. This event is perfect for those who want to enjoy scenic beauty while covering a shorter distance.
ON PACE RACE will be present at both the Marathon and Half Marathon starting lines, providing pacers that match various ability levels. Runners can connect with these experienced pacesetters to stay on track with their goals throughout the race.
