Marshfield

The 45th annual Marshfield Columbus Cross Country Invite will be run at Wildwood Park. Per WIAA rules pets and tobacco products are not allowed at the race site or in the Zoo area.

Viewing tips: Stillwater parents tend to gather at the south end of the pond by the viewing tower to watch the start. After the start, you can head down the hill between the fencing and catch the boys at about half way through their race or stay near the pond to watch the last 3/4 mile. Other viewing options are shown on the maps below. Or, you can just look for other Stillwater parents and follow them.

Directions: The meet is held at Wildwood Park & Zoo in Marshfield, WI. You can use 545 West 17th Street, Marshfield, WI on your GPS to get you there. Hwy 29 through Chippewa Falls is a divided road, where Hwy 10 through Neillsville is a two lane road. It takes a bit more than 2 1/2 hours either way, but Hwy 10 is more scenic with higher odds of encountering Amish buggies.

Parking is available on the streets surrounding the park.
