January Course Connection: Happy New Year, Snowshoeing for Runners, and more

January 2021

Happy New Year from all of us at the Community First Fox Cities Marathon presented by Miron Construction

It's 2021, let's start off the year with hope, togetherness and determination.

Hope for a healthier year. We're here for you and will continue to cheer you on from afar until we can be together again.
Togetherness - Staying connected to running and walking friends will get us through with encouragement, support and accountability for staying active this year.
Determination - You are stronger than you think. Have you thought about new goals, new opportunities, new focus? It's that time of year. Let us know how we can help. We are determined to return to racing as soon as it is safe to do so. We can all do our part to get there.

As always, we encourage you to stay healthy, stay safe and keep moving!
