Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon Registration filled on Apr. 15, 2012
Registration opened on Jan. 15, 2012 at 12:01 a.m.
We reached out 3100 runner limit! Please note that we DO NOT allow for the transfer, sale, or deferral of entries. We know that some runners will register and not be in a position to run the race - we account for that in setting the entry limit. If we allowed transfers, we would have to reduce the limit - and sell out earlier.
The 2012 Lakefront Kid's Marathon will be held on Saturday, October 6, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. Download the individual registration form.
The Kids Run is a non-competitive marathon distance run designed to promote physical activity for kids and their families. This event allows kids (ages 5 – 14 years of age) to go the full marathon distance one mile (or less) at a time. For 3-4 months prior to race day, participants will log their miles to reach the ultimate running distance of a marathon. Participants and their families are encouraged to get up and start moving by running or walking ¼ mile, ½ mile, ¾ mile, or 1 mile segments. Parents, teachers, or coaches will sign off on the portions of miles participants log in their mileage logbooks. Kids must have completed 25 total miles between Friday, June 1, 2012 and Friday, October 5, 2012. Completed logbooks will be turned in on race weekend.
