For those who want the challenge of a long distance run, but would rather not tackle the 26.2-mile marathon, a half-marathon may be the perfect race. The St. Clare Health Mission Half-Marathon will be held on Sunday May 2, 2010, as a running event in the La Crosse Fitness Festival.
The Marathon and Half-Marathon courses begin together by Pettibone Park and cross over the Mississippi River into downtown La Crosse and then proceed to tour the perimeter of the south side of the city. The southern leg parallels the Mississippi and the northern leg parallels the scenic river bluffs, passing though residential neighborhoods and business districts. The Half-Marathon course ends in Myrick Park, close to the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. |
