About

The race

It isn’t a bird or a plane. It is 4,000 runners weaving through the streets of Kenosha for the 2016 Wisconsin Marathon, which calls itself “the cheesiest marathon”. You won’t need x-ray vision to see the beautiful sites along Lake Michigan as you channel your inner superhero for a 26.2 or 13.1 race throughout the cities of Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie. You may need super strength to carry the famous Big Cheese Medal around your neck when you finish, but you can replenish your super powers with a beer and brat at the post-race party. The live music will help, too.
