Lace up for an unforgettable journey through Wisconsin's picturesque Fox Cities at the Fox Cities Marathon with myTEAM TRIUMPH on September 19, 2026. This USATF-certified Boston Marathon Qualifier offers both a full 26.2-mile marathon and a 13.1-mile half marathon, beginning on Midway Road at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Fox Cities campus in Menasha. The course, known for being largely flat with some rolling hills and short inclines, guides runners through seven vibrant communities, showcasing scenic park and waterfront sections, tree-lined streets, and the highlight 1,600-foot Fox Cities Trestle Trail Bridge, Wisconsin's longest pedestrian bridge.
Runners can anticipate exceptional community support along the route, with enthusiastic spectators, plentiful volunteers, and aid stations approximately every 1-1.5 miles offering water, Gatorade, fruit, and energy gels. Reviewers consistently praise the race's excellent organization, abundant "biffy's" (portable restrooms) at the start and along the course, and a festive finish area. The journey culminates at the scenic Riverside Park in downtown Neenah, where a beautiful finish area awaits with snacks and goodies. With typical race day conditions in mid-September bringing highs around 71F and lows around 50F, and a low 15% chance of precipitation, you can expect favorable weather for a personal best.
The Fox Cities Marathon is more than just a race; it's a community celebration that has given back over $1.3 million to local non-profits throughout its 34-year history, fostering an inclusive atmosphere that embraces all athletes, including those participating with myTEAM TRIUMPH. Prepare for a well-supported, scenic, and rewarding experience that promises both a challenging course and a memorable tour of the charming Fox Cities.
