Cheesiest Marathon Back For More

2010 WISCONSIN MARATHON TO DELIVER A LARGER SLICE OF CHEESE



Second running promises to bring greater numbers to Kenosha-based event







KENOSHA, WIS.-- After an impressive debut in its 2009 running, Wisconsin



Marathon organizers have promised a larger, more exciting event in 2010.



Because of overwhelming demand for the first-ever race last year (which saw



the event sell out even after the field had been expanded), the 2010 race



has been enlarged to accommodate more marathon and half marathon runners,



though even with the adjustment, organizers still expect a sell out.







Continuing its popular theme from last year, the Wisconsin Marathon will



remain å_the cheesiest marathonå_ and stay focused on the dairy staple



synonymous with the raceå_s home state. By providing an all cheesehead start



corral, a large, metal cheese medal and  å_cheesyå_ photo stations, in



addition to a post-race brat and beer festival and plenty of polka music,



the race provides a fun-filled atmosphere for one of lifeå_s most exciting



challenges, the marathon.







Cheesy antics aside, without a doubt the largest draw for Wisconsin



Marathoners is the city of Kenoshaå_s beautiful lakeside course. Nestled



along Lake Michigan and in the quaint Kenosha downtown area (a short one



hour drive from Chicago and Milwaukee), the Wisconsin Marathon offers one of



the Midwestå_s most scenic USATF-certified courses. å_After last yearå_s event,



we received an incredible amount of feedback. Runners loved our



cheese-themed entertainment along the course, but the real treat for them



was being able to run along the lake for such a long and beautiful stretch,å_



says Wisconsin Marathon race director Jonathan Cain. å_Last yearå_s event was



such a positive experience and so much fun, that we want more people to



enjoy our race this year.å_







In addition to fielding compliments, feedback from last yearå_s event has



enabled race organizers to perfect the course by eliminating a fun, but



confusing parade loop in the city center and adjusting race-day necessities



(more port-a-potties!).

å_Weå_ve fine-tuned this race to make it even better than last yearå_s event.



But the things that marathoners fell in love with in 2009 will still be our



raceå_s calling-card, namely, a beautiful location, fun atmosphere, great



after party, original and unique course entertainment, and, of course,



cheese!å_ Says Cain. å_This year weå_ve also added a Family Fitness Walk to the



event line-up to make sure that everyone coming to Kenosha for the marathon



will be able to actively participate.å_







The Wisconsin Marathon, Half Marathon and Family Fitness Walk are scheduled



to run on May 1, 2010. More details and registration information are
