New Course for the 2012 La Crosse Marathon - 1/6/12

The Festival Foods La Crosse Fitness Festival is excited to announce a new course for the 2012 La Crosse Marathon.

The St. Clare Health Mission Half Marathon, presented by Gundersen Lutheran and Mayo Clinic Health System, route will remain the same with only slight variances; the major change has been made in the marathon course. The previous course touched portions of the entire city; the new course will primarily be contained on the south side of the city. The new marathon course will utilize Pettibone Park, Riverside Park, and tour many of the historic neighborhoods. The marathon will share portions of the half course but will break away and rejoin to gain the additional miles needed to reach 26.2 miles. The Festival strives to showcase the beauty of La Crosse and to create an event that participants will return to year after year. The new course is USA Track and Field certified course and can be used as a Boston Qualifier. The Festival has reached the decision to change the course based on participant feedback from past years.
