Embark on a journey of speed and determination at the Non Cancelled Marathon, set for Saturday, April 25, 2026, in picturesque Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. This event, born in 2020 as a vital response to race cancellations, has quickly evolved into a premier destination for runners aiming for personal bests and Boston Marathon qualification. The race offers a diverse range of distances, including the full 26.2-mile marathon (with an early start option and relay), a 13.1-mile half marathon (also available as a ruck), a 10K (with a ruck option), a 5K run, ruck, or walk, and a fun 1K for the kiddos.

The Non Cancelled Marathon boasts a USATF-certified course known for its exceptional flatness and speed, making it an ideal choice for those chasing a fast time. The paved out-and-back route utilizes the scenic Lake Country Trail, starting and finishing at Roosevelt Park. With minimal elevation changes, runners can focus on their pace while enjoying the support of enthusiastic spectators. Friends and family will appreciate the unique course design, allowing them to cheer on participants up to eight times from dedicated spectator sections without changing locations. Typical race day conditions in late April feature pleasant temperatures, with average highs around 60°F and lows around 39°F, and a modest 16% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for racing.

Strategically placed aid stations are available along the course, ensuring runners are well-supported throughout their race. Beyond the swift course, the Non Cancelled Marathon enhances the runner experience with live split tracking at regular intervals, a lively race announcer at the start/finish, and custom finisher medals for all distances. Top overall finishers receive handcrafted awards, while age group winners earn unique "woodles." The Non Cancelled Marathon isn't just a race; it's a celebration of resilience and a perfect opportunity to achieve your running goals in a supportive and engaging atmosphere.
