Full Marathon Registration Cap: 1,200
The Community First Fox Cities Marathon begins with the Orthopedic & Sports Institute Relay Marathon participants in front of the Barlow Planetarium on the University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley campus in Menasha.
The 26.2 mile route makes its way through seven Fox Cities communities before finishing at scenic Riverside Park near downtown Neenah.
All Full Marathon finishers receive a custom printed long-sleeve Brooks Podium technical FINISHERS shirt and a finishers medal to commemorate their race participation and finish at the 2012 Community First Fox Cities Marathon!
As a courtesy to those who expect to take more than six hours to complete the course, we offer a 6:00 a.m. early start time. This will ensure the safety and availability of water, food, and enthusiastic crowds to cheer on all finishers. (The early start at 6:00 a.m. is ONLY for Marathoners who expect to finish in over 6 hours. THIS IS NOT AN ALTERNATE START! Those who finish in under 6 hours may be subject to disqualification.)
