Half Marathon & 5K Course
Registration, start and finish are all next to each other and within 2 blocks walking distance!
Both courses will start at the Leach Amphitheatre. To avoid railroad crossings, organizers have found a new Half Marathon route that will be just as... scenic as last year, showcasing Oshkosh's finest venues. The course begins at the Leach Amphitheatre and turns south on Main Street along the river. It proceeds through South Park, continues on Knapp and Sawyer Streets and follows the east side of the river. The course crosses the new Wisconsin Avenue Bridge and through UW Oshkosh on Algoma Boulevard. The route continues past the historic Paine Art Center and Oshkosh Public Museum. It catches the Wiowash Trail, heads south towards the University and continues on the river-front trail until the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge. The final mile goes through the heart of downtown Oshkosh, catches the river trail behind the Convention Center and finishes inside the Leach Amphitheatre.
There will be 10 themed water/Gatorade stations available on the courses. Simple carbohydrates and Hammer Gel will also be provided.
The 5K course starts and ends at the same points as the half marathon. It heads east to the lake and then using the same final miles as the longer course. read more
