Community First Fox Cities Marathon presented by Miron Construction
The event weekend brings multiple running events to the Fox Cities area in Wisconsin, centered in Menasha, Neenah and Appleton. Courses use paved trails, park and waterfront sections and include the 1,600 foot Fox Cities Trestle Trail Bridge. The full marathon course begins on Midway Road in Menasha and passes through six Fox Cities communities before finishing at Riverside Park near downtown Neenah. The half marathon follows the marathon route until just before mile 2, then splits and rejoins the final miles to the Riverside Park finish; it includes rolling terrain and a bridge overpass near mile 2.
Relay teams of two to five people share one bib with a timing chip and transfer the timing belt at designated relay exchange zones. The 10K and 5K start and finish at Riverside Park and run through waterfront and historic neighborhood sections; the 5K supports the St. Elizabeth Hospital cancer center with a portion of adult entry fees. Youth events include a kids fun run at Fox Cities Stadium that awards a finisher medal to every child and family-oriented Diaper Dash and Toddler Trot activities with participant shirts and goodie bags.
The organizing body is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Over a multi-decade history the event has returned more than $1.3 million to local organizations and partners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
