The Experience
On a cold Wisconsin morning, with temperatures hovering near freezing, the Last Call 1/2 Marathon offers runners one final shot at a PR before the year ends. The course unfolds along the Glacial Drumlin paved bike trail, a mostly flat out-and-back route that favors negative splits and fast times. With just over 100 finishers in recent years, the atmosphere is intimate and low-key—a quiet, determined close to the season.
The event is part of the Chilly Willy Winter Run Series, and the chill in the air is part of the appeal. The race draws runners from about seven states, and around 15% return year after year. The production is well-organized, a hallmark of Silver Circle Races, and while the scenery is modest, the focus is squarely on performance. This is a no-frills, honest race for those who want to end their season on a strong note.
