Race Description

• Welcome: Welcome to Ascent Endurance Group's Spring Forward Half Marathon! We are excited to expand our annual early spring half marathon (and new 10k option), thanks in large part to the support of our friends at Badger State Timing.
• Community Focus: While we're going more formal, we still expect a low-key community event, with a few added pieces to this year's run.
• Participant Goals: Whether you're looking to tune up for the Boston or another spring marathon, testing your fitness after a Wisconsin winter, get in a workout with others, or just want to knock out your long run before the time change, we're glad to have you joining us!
• Pacing: Please let us know your estimated pace so we can help group athletes with similar goals together.
