State #4 on my 50 state marathon journey was Wisconsin and as a loyal Packer fan I was SO excited for this marathon. How could I not be? You end the marathon with a lap around Lambeau field and running through Packer tunnel before heading to the finish line. Sweeeet! Go Pack go! (Had to get it in!)

The event itself is very well organized and supported! We went to the expo the day before the race and although I thought it was weird that the packet pick up and T-shirt pick up were on different floors the expo was still good and held within the Lambeau field atrium. That same day we got the chance to separately take a tour of Lambeau field which was AWESOME. If you are a Packers fan and traveling from outside the area this was a good event to do alongside the marathon. Just do it - it will be worth it.

Anyways - the marathon itself offered shuttles from runners from nearby hotels - this was a huge plus and something we took advantage of. Runners and family members were allowed on. The course itself is nice... Fast, flat and beautiful. A bit curvy but still great. And with a lap around city stadium and Lambeau field what else could you ask for? Even with it being at the end and knowing how badly you want to finish at that point Lambeau was without a doubt a highlight of the race!

Add stations were spot on throughout the course with port potties, plenty of water and Gatorade, GU, popsicle stations, root beer stations, chocolate stations (Which I skipped the last 3 but still way cool). Crowd support was awesome! We also lucked out and had perfect running weather... Chilly 45ish at the start but ended in the mid 60s.

Beautiful medals for 2014!

All in all a wonderful event!! I'd do it again and would recommend it without a doubt!
