Baraboo, United States of America · Sunday 11 July 2027
The Dances with Dirt Marathon takes place in Baraboo, Wisconsin in July 2026 and offers runners a genuinely flat course on road surfaces, making it a solid choice if you're chasing a personal record or prefer to focus on effort rather than fighting elevation. The route has gentle rolling terrain that won't surprise you with any serious climbing, so pacing becomes straightforward and you can run your own race without worrying about steep sections draining your legs late in the race. July heat and humidity in Wisconsin will be the real challenge here, not the terrain, so come prepared to manage your effort and hydration accordingly. This is a no-frills event that lets the course do the talking, which means a well-trained runner in decent shape should find the miles relatively forgiving. Check the race website for details on aid station placement and course support, since those details matter more on a flat marathon in summer heat than they do on a mountain course.
