🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Running ON AIR with Eau Claire Marathon

This month, we’re heading to the Back of the Pack with our guest, Liz Mayo! 💙
Liz shares her history with the Eau Claire Marathon and takes us behind the scenes of one of the most meaningful roles on race day — supporting the runners at the back of the pack.

As a nurse, Liz brought a unique perspective to the course, asking questions, assessing what runners needed in the moment, offering encouragement and helping them keep moving forward.

In this episode, Liz shares what she saw, heard and experienced on the course, why Back of the Pack support matters, and what it means to make sure every runner feels supported — from the first finisher to the last. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Because at the Eau Claire Marathon, every pace has a place. 💙

🎧 Tune in to hear Liz’s race-day stories and why the Back of the Pack is such an important part of the ECM experience.

💙 Today is International Day of Charity.

What if your next race could do more than earn you a medal?

What if every runner you passed helped change someone's life?

That's exactly what it means to be the Eau Claire Marathon Charity Chaser.

Each year, one incredible runner (or team) starts last (or first) on purpose. Every participant they pass on the course generates a donation for a local charity, transforming one race into a powerful way to give back.

Since launching the Charity Chaser program, we've seen runners create lasting memories while making a real impact:
💙 2019 – Jordan & Jeffrey
💙 2022 – Zach Halmstad
💙 2024 – Jonathon & Angela
💙 2025 – Brent Wathke
💙 2026 – Bob Gallaher

Now, we're looking for our 2027 Charity Chaser.

This isn't about being the fastest runner.

It's about using your passion for running to make a difference in someone else's life.

If you're ready for one of the most unique and meaningful race experiences you'll ever have, we'd love to hear your story.

👇 Tag someone who would be an amazing Charity Chaser—or tell us why you should be our next one.

Because the best way to celebrate charity... is to run for it. 💙

There’s a place for everyone at the start line. 💙

Eau Claire Marathon Weekend is about more than miles — it’s about creating moments, celebrating accomplishments, and making sure everyone has the opportunity to be part of race weekend.

Through our partnership with Trail Blazers, athletes of all abilities can experience the energy of the course, the cheers from the crowd, and that unforgettable feeling of crossing the finish line.

Athletes, families, volunteers and supporters — we’d love for you to be part of it.

Different journeys. One incredible finish line.
