The Eau Claire Marathon is proud to announce Royal Credit Union as title sponsor of the Eau Claire Marathon race weekend.

In addition, the Charity Classic 10K race previously featured at the RCU Foundation’s Rock the Riverfront event has transitioned to the Eau Claire Marathon weekend of events and will be called the Eau Claire Marathon Charity Classic 10K presented by Royal Credit Union. The RCU Foundation has pledged $15,000 to area non-profit organizations which will be selected on a rotating annual basis to benefit from the event.

By combining our 10K events, we’ll highlight RCU’s long standing commitment to charity, enabling us to give back more than ever before. This collaboration will also showcase the best of Eau Claire, benefiting both the city and our vibrant community.

Our 10K course will stick mainly to Eau Claire’s bike trail system, crossing the High Bridge, running through Owen Park and along the Chippewa River. Without leaving the Phoenix Park area, family, friends and community members can easily cheer runners on at the start, when they come down the trail along First Ave (mile 1.5) and as they finish in Phoenix Park.

All participants will receive their race shirt at packet pick-up. Upon completion, runners will receive a finisher’s medal to commemorate their accomplishment at the Eau Claire Marathon 10K Run/Walk.

Overall and age group awards will be presented by Market & Johnson.

Races changes and transfers will be available until April 1, 2025. Race changes (upgrades and downgrades) will be charged $10 plus the price difference for upgrades. Transfers will be charged $15 for same-distance transfers (marathon to marathon, half marathon to half marathon, or 5k to 5k.)
