A shop called Blue Ox Running was established in Eau Claire a few years ago. The owners are excellent runners and want to help people in the community with their running needs. They are huge supporters of high school and middle school sports and hold running groups on different nights of the week to get people out and running. Blue Ox is the place to go for my running shoes because they know what they are talking about and it shows when people keep coming back. They also support and donate to the marathon that the city holds every year.

The heart of downtown is built up around where two rivers converge. In the summer, you can always go meet up with friends and float down the river in the sun and take in the scenery. So many people float the river that the city officially made a water trail for people to follow on the river with their tubes and kayaks. As you float down the river, the people running on the trail and you float right by the university. Right where the two rivers meet is usually where the launch point is for most people that float the river.

Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has a population of about 70,000 people. That is enough to make it a bustling city that is not too small but not too large. The city is the largest in population in west central Wisconsin. That being said, it is a small enough community that you know lots of people and areas that are not always filled with people where it feels overcrowded. There are many different activities to do in and around the city. In the summertime, one place to go is the local farmer’s market downtown. Many of the small local farmers come in on Saturday’s to sell their different products.

Eau Claire is home to a wide variety of people. The majority of residents during the school year are college students. However, during the off-months the majority of residents are ages 30-50. Additionally, Eau Claire’s nightlife is very prominent. If you enjoy a quiet neighborhood, this may not be the location for you.

The city is in pretty close proximity to big cities which makes it great for travel and shopping. Eau Claire is about an hour from Minneapolis, MN and about 4 hours from Chicago, IL. The city of Eau Claire doesn’t have as much shopping as Minneapolis/St. Paul does so it is always great to be able to go over there and go shopping for the day but still be able to be home within an hour.

There are two rivers running through the middle of the city, which connect downtown. That is where the name of the city came from. Eau Claire means clear water in French. Many people in the city use the rivers, from fishing to hanging out on a boat or even just floating down the river with friends on a warm summer day. In recent years, the rivers have gotten used so much that the city has implemented a new trail system meant for the river. It is like a bike trail but for the river and its many uses.
