About Marathon City

Sitting along the Rib River just west of Wausau, Marathon City offers a relaxed small-town feel with deep German roots. You can see that history in landmarks like the twin steeples of St. Mary’s Church and longtime employers like Menzner Lumber. Today, it is a close-knit community where neighbors know each other and local schools are a point of pride, all with an easy commute along Highway 29 to the shopping, parks, and jobs around Wausau.
