The Paavo Nurmi Marathon is a point-to-point marathon run in Northern Iron County, Wisconsin - always the 2nd Saturday in August. The Paavo runs on a verified course but is no longer a BQ this year*. We're debuting and even safer and special course for you that takes you along roads you can't access outside the race, past the only standing mine headframe in Wisconsin, and down shady groves of pines. With A half marathon, marathon RELAY, and Twilight 5K Run/Walk are also part of the festivities.

The Paavo Nurmi Marathon is the longest running marathon in Wisconsin, with 2025 being our 55th year. We have custom wooden finisher medals made from local wood by local artisans here in town for all marathon, half marathon, and RELAY finishers. Food music and fun... are you ready?

Locals and visitors alike will find a weekend of history and heart, once again be run on the course that made us famous, "finishing" in downtown Hurley, Wisconsin.

The Twilight 5K Run/Walk, a family friendly run/walk to take place on Friday evening, August 8th, during The Paavo Nurmi Marathon EXPO.

Register TODAY!

*In the interest in safety and enjoyment, the course has been changed due to increased traffic on 77 from State Highway 2 reroute, and a road closure for a bridge outage on route 122.

    The Lake Lucerne Advancement Association Community Support Committee’s Third Annual 5K-ish Run/Walk will be on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

    This year's charity, Crandon Area Rescue, is a non-profit squad that serves approximately 435 square miles, including Argonne, Crandon, Hiles, Lincoln, Nashville townships, and the City of Crandon. With four ambulances and around 20 active responders, they provide essential emergency care when needed.

    There is no registration fee, however a suggested donation amount of $35 requested per racer. If you would prefer to donate a different amount, you are welcome to do so.

    
Over the past three years, this event has raised over $10,500 in direct donations from the race! In addition, we know that community and individual contributions inspired by this event have addedmore than $5,000 in extra donations to Crandon Area Rescue. That’s a huge impact!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us this year—and to those who couldn’t attend but still donated to this great cause.

This year’s event featured over 90 racers and 18 volunteers who helped with planning and operations. We also had eight generous sponsors who contributed funds, products, and services. Their support makes this event possible every year. Our sponsors included:

Forest County Potawatomi

Schaefers IGA

Living Local Realty, LLC

Tamarack Outfitters

Water’s Edge Lodge

Whisky Nicks

We are fortunate to have this squad providing service. Thank you for your support!
