Race Medals & Shirts
The 2026 Wausau Marathon and Half Marathon finisher medal is inspired by the unique geographical landmark within Marathon County, Wisconsin. Just west of Wausau, you can visit a rare geographical point where 45 degrees north latitude meets 90 degrees west longitude, one of only four such intersections worldwide. Two of these locations are located on the ocean, one is located in a remote mountainous region in China, leaving the location in Marathon County as the only accessible location. These locations are significant because they are the exact halfway points between the geographical poles and the equator and halfway between the prime meridian and the 180th meridian. When you visit this location, you are halfway to everywhere. Visitors of this site are rewarded with a commemorative coin, which we have tweaked and is represented in the center of our 2026 finisher medals.
