The Door County Half-Marathon and Nicolet Bay 5K will be here before you know it. Now is the time to look at your Ephraim, WI lodging options and reserve a room at Ephraim Shores Resort. This year, the half-marathon at Peninsula State Park is on Saturday, May 7. In honor of the event, we’re offering a special $85 room rate that weekend. Hotels and resorts fill up quickly as runners and their family members and friends finalize their plans for one of the state’s most scenic running races so you’ll need to move quickly to secure your room.

The Door County Half-Marathon is one of the Midwest’s premier half-marathons with runners using a USATF-certified road course through picturesque Peninsula State Park. The race is extremely popular, often filling to capacity. The race waives the entrance fee for 100 runners who promise to each raise $250 for a local charity. Since starting that in 2010, more than $90,000 has been raised, making it not only a great athletic event, but one that also benefits the local community. The Nicolet Bay 5k begins just west of the Half Marathon starting line. Racers will follow the course to the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, turn around, and head back to the finish line.
