Paavo Nurmi Marathon
Race Information
The Paavo is a point-to-point marathon in Northern Iron County, Wisconsin, always the 2nd Saturday in August. The Paavo Nurmi Marathon runs on a certified course, a Boston Marathon/NYC Marathon qualifying event, and also offers a half marathon, marathon relay, and a Twilight 5K Run/Walk.
The history of the Paavo is one of pride, strength and dedication of both runners and volunteers, and the love of a network of communities for the area’s longest running event. The Paavo Nurmi Marathon is the the longest running marathon in Wisconsin!
Run Pick of the Month - Bellin Women's Half Marathon & 5K
This women-focused 5k and half marathon happens in October.
Expect a scenic, urban course. We like the half marathon relay option that lets you run 13.1 as a team of two!
This run typically draws over 1,500 participants. The course is very spectator friendly (so bring your cheer squad).
