Comfortable temps, moderate wind

Mild 55°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Moderate winds around 18mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. High humidity (83%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

Race Info

The Half Marathon covers 13.1 miles from the start in front of the Barlow Planetarium in Menasha to Riverside Park near downtown Neenah, on the Sunday of race weekend. It shares the first two miles with the marathon, splits off on its own route, then rejoins the marathon course for the last 9 miles to the finish. The terrain is rolling, with a bridge overpass near mile 2 as the main climb. The course passes through several Fox Cities communities and ends at the same park as the marathon.
