APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Community First Fox Cities Marathon is back on the calendar for this fall — with some pandemic restrictions.
Organizers are planning in-person and virtual events for the 30th marathon weekend, which is set for Sept. 17-19. There will be a cap on participation for the in-person race. Those who do not feel comfortable running in-person or who do not get a spot in the race will be able to participate in the Home Edition Virtual Experience.
“We continue to work with our local medical experts, municipalities, sponsors, volunteers and participants to determine how to best deliver a supportive and safe running experience,” race director Tara Perre said in a news release. “We are thrilled to be moving forward with in-person events as well as offering new virtual options for our races. We are committed to providing the same hometown spirit and community support for all our events while keeping safety a top priority.”
Registration for the in-person events is open. Early bird prices are available through next Wednesday.
