Course Information

The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon and Half Marathon courses are considered to be fast and flat, by race industry comparisons. The distance events finish in the shadow of Lambeau Field on Mike McCarthy Way between Holmgren Way and Oneida St. with a “tailgate” themed party in the Festival Zone. The half marathon, marathon, relays and Cellcom 5K all start on Morris Ave. between Holmgren Way and Oneida St. near the hallowed halls of Lambeau Field.

For the half marathon, the course features tree-lined streets, traveling south through Ashwaubenon, DePere and Green Bay before a quick lap through Lambeau Field near the end and then on to the finish line for the 13.1 mile course.

The marathoners head south to DePere, and Ledgeview before heading north through Allouez and Green Bay. Finally crossing the Fox River, they will head to Ashwaubenon and Lambeau Field to take a lap around the Frozen Tundra.
