The race has been called one of the best in the Midwest by Runner’s World writer Jenny Hadfield, and writer Tom Held likened the course to “running in a wooded cathedral.” Competitor Magazine raves that it’s one of 20 Must-do Midwest Races. Such praise, plus Door County’s reputation as one of the premier vacation destinations in the country, has made the race a must-run on the nation’s half marathon circuit.
The USATF-certified course is run entirely on closed roads that guide runners past historic landmarks, through peaceful forests, and atop the Niagara Escarpment to reveal spectacular bluff-top views of Lake Michigan.
Impeccable organization and course support make it a favorite of first-time runners, while the un-rivaled scenery and the notorious hills of Peninsula State Park offer a challenge for experienced distance runners.
