Wisconsin Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K

There will be an early start at 6:35am for marathoners only that plan on running six hours or greater. (Note change from previous years.) The main start time for the marathon, half marathon, and 5k is 7:00am Start Line is located near the Kenosha Civil War Museum, corner of Ring Rd and Fisherman Drive. Pacers from the OnPace pace team. There is no parking in the museum lots on race day. We will be using the same course as 2025 with an updated 5k course. Participants of both races will enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful Lake Michigan coastline. All three courses will take runners through downtown Kenosha and past area parks and beaches. The marathon and half marathon courses include some out-and-back sections. The marathon is a two-loop course. Pacers will be set up to help you get your goal time. We’ll have pacers set for every 30 minutes from 3:30 to 6:00 for the marathon and since the marathon is a two-loop course, they’ll be able to help guide the half marathoners, as well. New for 2026: 5k participants will also receive a 5k finisher's medal this year.
