The Paavo Nurmi Marathon, celebrating its rich history, along with the Half The Paavo Nurmi Handcycle Marathon, will take place on August 10, 2024, in Hurley, Wisconsin. This event honors the legendary Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi and offers both a full marathon and a half-marathon specifically designed for handcyclists. Participants can anticipate a scenic, yet challenging, course that winds through the beautiful Ironwood area. Expect a mix of road and trail running, characteristic of the Upper Peninsula's rugged terrain. The course is known for its rolling hills and potential for varied weather conditions in early August, so participants should be prepared for both warm sunshine and cooler temperatures. The handcycle marathon provides an inclusive opportunity for athletes to experience this unique event, making it a notable feature that sets it apart.
