The Madeline Island Marathon and Half Marathon in La Pointe, Wisconsin, offers an intimate, scenic race that winds through lush forests and along beautiful coastal shores. Capped at just 125 runners for the full marathon and 325 for the half, the event provides a peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere for a perfect weekend getaway.
