2010 will mark the 30th Anniversary of the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon – 30 years of “the Best Times in Milwaukee”.  We are planning a few special things to mark this significant anniversary – including an attempt to have as many of our former marathon winners come back to run the marathon or participate in special “Champions” relay teams. 

We are also very excited at the prospect of welcoming our 35,000th marathon finisher back to Veterans Park from our start in Grafton – yes, we have had a lot of happy finishers in our 30 year history.  We will be keeping track as the runners finish so that we will be able to announce that 35,000th finisher at the awards ceremony – and maybe even as they finish.  We hope to be able to present some special goodies to that finisher, in addition to a special award.

In addition to all of THAT excitement…we have also been designated as the RoadRunners Club of America 2010 NATIONAL Marathon Championship – pretty cool, we think.

Registration opened on Friday, January 22nd.  Please note that we will maintain the same entry limits for the marathon (2750) and relay (90 teams) in 2010 – last year the relay filled in mid-March and the marathon in mid-May – be warned.  Please remember that entries are non-refundable, cannot be transferred to another runner, and cannot be deferred until a future year.  We know that things happen to prevent some of our entrants from running the race – we take that into consideration in setting the entry limits.

We will continue our popular e-mail newsletter in 2010.  We will again use the newsletter to provide important updates and information as race weekend approaches.  If you enter the race, you are automatically subscribed – if you hit the “un-subscribe” link, you will not receive important updates.  If you would like to subscribe in advance of registering or just want information about our race, use the subscribe link on this page.

As always, we welcome your suggestions and are happy to respond to your questions – lakefrontmarathon@sbcglobal.net
