All races start and finish in Carson Park, a 134 acre peninsula surrounded by Half Moon Lake. As you exit the park, you will cross the first of 11 bridges. Making your way through our city, you'll enjoy the beauty and tranquility of both the Eau Claire and Chippewa Rivers as well as our many parks.

The Eau Claire community embraces and welcomes all runners with bands, DJ's, and cheer stations! We are excited to show off our 11 bridges, the historical third Ward neighborhood, a tour through the heart of the newly designed UWEC Commons, and finally, a trip down the famous Water Street as we head toward the finish line.
