Forums >Racing>Suggestions for Flat, Fast Spring Marathons?
Haven't run it so I can't speak to how fast it is but the Illinois Marathon in Champaign is definitely flat
Also haven’t ran it but heard it’s a fast, flat course.
Wisconsin marathon in Kenosha, WI is pretty flat. But it’s on Lake Michigan and the last two years the wind has sucked, but weather is always cool.
Are we there, yet?
Ran the 10K there and also U of I grad so somewhat familiar with the area. Lots of turns on the course. It does go through some downtown areas but most of it is on residential streets. Worst I can say about it is that you have to climb stadium steps after the finish to get to the food.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
It's early April instead of late, but Athens Ohio is pretty flat - technically a net loss in elevation.
