PLAN YOUR DAY

You can find detailed race day instructions at foxcitiesmarathon.org. Be sure to get familiar with where to park, where the course will take you and find answers to all of your questions ahead of the day! Read on for some of our more frequently asked questions.

PACKET PICK UP INFORMATION

Location and times to pick up your packet vary depending on the event. If you are unable to pick up your race packet, you may have a friend or family member do so for you.

SUNDAY SHUTTLES

SUNDAY SHUTTLES TO THE START LINE

Due to limited parking at the Start Line, we encourage participants and spectators to park their cars at a Park-n-Ride location throughout the Fox Cities. Shuttle buses provided by Lamers Bus Lines will run continuously from these Park-n-Ride locations on race morning.


We encourage all riders to be at the park-n-ride locations no later than 5:30 a.m. on Sunday morning.


SUNDAY SHUTTLES TO THE FINISH LINE

A shuttle will be available to take Start Line spectators to the Finish Line after participants have left the Start Line (approximately 7:15 a.m.). The shuttle leaves from the west parking lot at UW-Oshkosh Fox Cities Campus.


SUNDAY POST-RACE SHUTTLE

Post-race shuttles will be available for participants and spectators for a return ride to the Park-n-Ride locations, downtown Neenah or the Start Line. Busses and vans will be operating continuously after the race from 8:45 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Watch for the shuttle signs and the big yellow school buses!

BUILT-IN PACING TO SUPPORT YOUR RACE


On Pace Race is back again with its community of pacers to help you reach your Full or Half Marathon goals on race day! Pacers offer smiles, encouragement and of course – a pace to follow as you run your race! Your corral letter will be assigned based on the time you provide on your registration form. You may choose to start with a slower corral than you have been assigned but cannot start with a faster corral than you have been assigned.

CORRALS

To ensure a smooth start for all race participants, we utilize corrals. 


5K & 10K:

Please line up according to your participation or pace. Participants will be ordered by runners, walkers, and walkers with dogs and/or strollers, please look for signage to help you when lining up. 5K & 10K participants will commingle at the start line.


Full, Half and Relay Marathons:

Your assigned corral can be found on your bib and is based on the estimated finishing time you provided us on your registration form. Please look for helpful volunteers at the Start Line to assist you in entering the correct corral.


RACE CHANGES AND TRANSFERS

Have your plans changed? You may only switch to a different event if the event that you want to switch to still has availability. In other words, if the half marathon is sold out, you may not switch from another event into the half marathon.
