EAU CLAIRE MARATHON CHARITY PARTNERS
TRAIL BLAZERS
Trail Blazers is an inclusive community where individuals of all abilities can experience the joy of indoor and outdoor adventures and activities. Empowering all athletes to break down boundaries and achieve their full potential. Blazing trails towards a more inclusive world, inspiring everyone to reach their goals and destination.
GIRLS ON THE RUN
We’re proud to partner with Girls on the Run (GOTR), a national nonprofit that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident through a proven curriculum blending physical activity, social-emotional learning, and positive mentorship. Locally, GOTR Chippewa Valley serves 450 girls each season, culminating in a celebratory 5K experience. Through their presence at the Eau Claire Marathon race expo and 5K cheer stations, this partnership helps expand GOTR’s visibility, recruit coaches, engage families, and further our shared commitment to empowering young girls in the Chippewa Valley.
RACING FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The Eau Claire Marathon prioritizes environmental stewardship by reducing waste, conserving resources, and promoting eco-friendly practices throughout race weekend and beyond. Initiatives include reusable gear check bags, composting post-race food and banana peels, donating leftover food and clothing, reducing printed materials with virtual guides and perks, using reusable water jugs to cut single-use bottles, and expanding efforts like bike valet and course clean-ups — all designed to lessen the event’s environmental footprint while engaging participants and the community in greener choices. As an inaugural member of Racing for Sustainability, the marathon has used RFS’s tools and certification framework to grow its sustainability program, implement best practices, and demonstrate its commitment to creating a more sustainable—and resilient—running event.
