Best Run/Walk

Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? When it comes to the best run/walk, the gold goes to the Eau Claire Marathon. Did you know it’s one of the most popular Boston Qualifiers in the Midwest? The silver goes to the Royal Credit Union Rock the Riverfront; not only is it a fun activity for the whole family, but also, the proceeds go towards local charities! The bronze goes to the Festival Foods Turkey Trot, where you can opt among running, walking, or taking your pooch for a dog jog before gobbling up Thanksgiving dinner! —Natalie Derks
