Course maps for the marathon, half marathon, and 5k distances for 2025 are below. We have a new course for 2025! The marathon route is a double loop and the half marathon course is a single loop. All three courses are USATF measured and certified.
Our new course has eliminated the gravel section and provides runners even more views of the lake.
Our courses start and finish right next to Lake Michigan, near Kenosha’s Public and Civil War museums. They will loop through downtown and residential areas and you’ll see some beautiful views of the lake. The scenery changes every few miles, so you’ll never not have something to look at!
The course will have volunteers, course marshals, and members of the Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie Police Departments, as well as some directional arrows to help guide runners through the race route. Be sure to pay attention to any course signs, especially where the distances split.
The Wisconsin Marathon is a Boston Qualifier course!

These courses have been measured to USATF certifications and are USATF Certified courses. Please note that your GPS device will probably show final distances different than 26.2 and 13.1 miles. USATF certification measures along tangents and measures the shortest possible distance for the course. When you are running a race, your GPS device is only accurate to a certain point and will also add distance when you take wide turns, go around other runners, stop inside a port-a-potty, etc.
Rules: Our course will be open for six and a half hours after the official race start (roughly 15:00 pace per mile.) Roads will be reopened on a rolling basis based on this timeline and remaining runners will be moved to the sidewalk.
Aid Stations: There will be aid stations stocked with water, Gatorade, and port-a-potties roughly every two to two and a half miles.
Aid stations will be located near the following mile marks:
Runners that need medical attention can stop at Aid Stations for help. Ambulances will be on the course as well as trained medical professionals. Aid station volunteers will also be able to relay information to runners in case of an emergency.
