The Blugold Mile

Come cheer with us at the Blugold Mile.

The Eau Claire Marathon sponsors UWEC Student Clubs, Organizations, and athletic teams to participate in the BLUGOLD MILE for the half and full marathon races from 9:30am to 1pm on Sunday, May 3rd.

How can you participate? Gather a group of students to cheer along the Blugold Mile, on lower campus, from 9:30am to 1pm. We are scheduling two shifts of groups this year to help support our back of the pack participants - groups can sign up for (A) 10am-noon, (B) 11am-1pm, or (C) 10am-1pm for an extra $5 per person who checks in for your team!

What do you get for it? Groups receive either a free entry for the half or full marathon (give it to anyone you want to cheer on at the race) or earn $10 per person (no minimum) to be paid to your organization (up to $200). Look forward to free food and drinks at the event sponsored by the Water Street Kwik Trip!

How can you sign up? Complete the form below and we’ll reach out to you with more information!
