Eisenhower Marathon

April 14, 2012

Start Time : 7.00am
Number of Places : 900

The Eisenhower Marathon is an annual low-key event. Runners invariably number in the low hundreds and usually American or British. Other races taking place on the same day are 10K and 5K events.

Eisenhower Marathon Route
The marathon route follows 26 miles through the streets of Abilene. It follows the Chisholm Trail, used in the early 19th century by Texas cattlemen bringing their herds to Abilene for shipment, by rail to the eastern States.

The association with Dwight Eisenhower comes from Ike having grown up in the tow. Runners start and end the race on Buckeye Avenue across from the Eisenhower Center which is a mere 100 yards from the ex-President's Boyhood Home.
