WhistleStop Marathon & Half-marathon
Join WhistleStop Marathon & Half-marathon
Join us as we run a beautiful marathon course that begins in Iron River, Wisconsin and finishes in Ashland, Wisconsin on Lake Superior’s south shore. Run along a crushed limestone gravel trail that’s designed to be easier on the knees and joints than ordinary road races.
Our fall marathon offers you spectacular fall colors, friendly aid stations and the best in pre-and post-race music. It’s easy to see why the WhistleStop is the Upper Midwest’s fall classic. It promises to be a great marathon experience for you.
The WhistleStop Marathon and Half Marathon is an annual road race held in October in Ashland, Wisconsin, in the United States. The course runs point-to-point and is held on the Tri-County Corridor, a rail-trail now paved with limestone gravel.
The WhistleStop Marathon and Half Marathon was first run in 1997. In 2006 the marathon accommodated 600 runners while the half marathon accommodated 1,000 runners.
The WhistleStop Marathon is USATF certified (#WI98019WG).
Course highlights
The WhistleStop Marathon & Half-Marathon is a point-to-point course to be held on the Tri-County Corridor, a rail-trail paved with limestone gravel. The course offers a flat and fast running trail surface that is firm but is much more forgiving to the knees then asphalt. This is an excellent first-timer or personal record course! The course stretches from two miles east of Iron River, Wisconsin and features ten re-decked railroad trestles, wetlands, trout streams, Chequamegon National Forest woodlands, dairy farms, residential neighborhoods and traffic-free quiet. Being a fall marathon, the course will feature some of the nation's finest autumn colors!Location
