The Casper Marathon is held every June and it stands as a very dramatic reminder of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Participants are invited to "run with the herd" in an event that is half marathon, half marathon relay. The marathon is staged by the Casper Windy City Striders, the city's running club. Even though the group that organizes this event has literally logged thousands of miles in their respective races and daily runs; every effort is put forth to make this festival nothing short of a runaway success.

Nature lovers usually can't sit still for long, and that's why the Platte River Parkway Trail is so appealing for many people who live in Casper. This trail system runs approximately ten miles in length, east to west through the Casper community, connecting many parks and recreation areas. The trail is popular with walkers, runners and folks out to enjoy a day of outdoor recreational activities on land or on the river. There's also plenty of wildlife to view from either the trail or the lakeside.

Foster the spirit of creativity in your kids when you bring them to the Nicolaysen Art Museum and Discovery Center. Not only will they get to see some of the world's most iconic artwork by such renowned artists as Andy Warhol, they will also view Western-themed and contemporary work from regional, national and international artists. And if all that art moves your kids to want to create something of their own, there are several hands-on exhibits and attractions that await them in the discovery center.
