The race includes the beautiful Loop Trail between Minnesota and Wisconsin and crosses the majestic St. Croix Crossing bridge, which opened in 2017. Running through scenic, tree-lined roads and past picturesque farms in rural Western Wisconsin, the course opens up as runners take in the vistas of the river and the valley as they cross the bridge on their way to a fitting finish at the historic Stillwater Lift Bridge in downtown Stillwater. The St. Croix Crossing Half Marathon is soon to be a classic event.
