Course Description

 

The course begins on the bike path next to the pavilion and heads south to Lake Road where the runners turn east. The Spring Fever courses are out and back through the wooded residential neighborhoods that border Lake Altoona. The courses are basically flat but the 6 mile runners enjoy a nice downhill dip to the turn around point, then they climb right back up from whence they came. No good turn goes unpunished.

History 

Lloyd Fleig and The Athletes Foot started the Spring Fever as a 10k race in 1981 from London Square mall. They moved it to Robbins Elementary School in 1984. The Indianhead Track Club took over on April Fool's Day in 1989.  Some time in the mid-1990s, the registration table and the finish line moved to Altoona City Park and the starting line was the corner of Spooner Avenue and 10th Street. In 2005, the race moved to its present location at the city pavilion on the corner of Spooner and 10th Avenue in Altoona, Wisconsin.
