Race Information
Madeline Island Marathon and Half Marathon lets you run through forests and along the island shores. Courses will be point-to-point with one section of out and back in each race. Courses are mostly pavement, with a section of packed gravel road in each race. The courses are USATF certified, and the marathon is a Boston Qualifier.
Organizers recommend that all runners arrive on the island the day before the race and stay for the weekend. Slots are limited for both distance options and are expected to fill.
