EVENT RECAP
Learning from the Best
Aspiring race walkers joined our Competitive Race Walking Clinic Saturday, May 10 to learn from Race Walk champions and two-time Olympic trial qualifiers, Jordan Crawford and Bricyn Healey. With interest and enthusiasm for the sport continuing to grow each year, the clinic offered a unique opportunity for attendees to sharpen their skills and refine their form with help from the experts.
Gatorade Endurance:
Fuel To Unlock Your Best
We’re proud to have Gatorade Endurance as the Official Sports Fuel of the Community First Fox Cities Marathon presented by Miron Construction, delivering critical fuel and nutrients to our athletes on race day. Gatorade Endurance has been formulated after years of research, specially designed to support exercise over long periods of time. Train with the fuel to unlock your best, start to finish.
Flavor supports hydration by increasing fluid consumption. Gatorade Endurance offers four (4) Endurance Formula flavors to choose from. Avoid flavor fatigue & find your favorites by testing them all during training. You can count on Gatorade Endurance on the course, too. You’ll find Gatorade Endurance Formula at every aid station. Gatorade Endurance will be with you every step of the way, from your first workout to the finish line.
Support Our Participants
One Mile at a Time
Mile markers serve many purposes during a race, from keeping runners motivated and apprised of their progress, to providing an easy meetup spot for spectators and helping race organizers coordinate volunteer efforts. In other words, they are seen by A LOT of eyes. For $500, you can become a mile marker sponsor and have your brand viewed by thousands.

PARTICIPANT SPOTLIGHT
Neenah Native Credits Life-Saving Sobriety to Fellow Runners
Tate Whitlinger never understood runners. That is, until he almost lost his life to drug and alcohol addiction. What started as a way to fill the void left behind from using quickly became a vital source of community, acceptance, connection, and safety. As Whitlinger puts it, running – and the people who run alongside him – have saved his life.
