Eau Claire Marathon Reviews

  Harder than what you expect!

By Ingrid Firmansyah about 2023

Review

Very organized and amazingly beautiful scenery! The presentation by Coach Paul Carmona at the Expo was definitely a must to attend, it was a valuable information to prepare you for the race.

Race Tips

If you are originated from the sea level, just enjoy the race and dont expect any PR or BQ. It was much harder than any standard races , as it felt hard on breathing (and legs definitely) on high altitude all the way to the finished line.

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

All logistics are well provided by the organizers including race fotographs and video, all for free.

The city is great. Well thought out course and great support from the community.

Race Tips

The first half is harder than the second. Plan to negative split.

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express a few miles away. Idealy, the Oxbow would have been great. Nevertheless, parking near the start/finish isn't difficult, just show up early.

  Relatively even course with only a few hills
