Apple Dumpling Day Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warm start, moderate wind
Starting at 69°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 78°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 13mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 73% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Elroy Lions Club has hosted the Apple Dumpling Day Races in Elroy, Wisconsin, since 2007, timed to the town's Apple Dumpling Days festival on the first Saturday after Labor Day. A half marathon joined the original 5K in 2008, and a USATF-certified marathon was added in 2013. The course runs largely out-and-back along the Omaha Trail and 400 Trail rail-trails, passing through a lit, 875-foot railroad tunnel built in 1876. The Lions Club donates all labor, so profits go entirely to local, state, national, and international charities. Source
