Underrated
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up for this race. But the experience was really enjoyable. It’s a scenic course that takes you around the area. You cross the Wisconsin River multiple times and get to run on some beautiful paved trails. I get the feelings it’s a growing event, there are gaps without spectators. Volunteers were nice and the food, drink, swag was all solid, especially for a race of this size.

Incredible Support and Organization
I was the last to cross the finish line and had outstanding support the whole way. Special Thanks to Sue from the pacer team. You were an incredible coach and motivator. Thanks Wausau Marathon Team for a very well managed race!
