    About This Race

    With a PR Score of 98.82, this course presents a rolling hills profile that challenges runners without being overly punishing. Set in Green Bay, you'll navigate a picturesque route that includes both urban landscapes and scenic parks, giving a varied backdrop to your race experience.
