Amanda Riesenberg
This was my first marathon and I couldn’t have chosen a better event. The organization of the race, the volunteers, and the community support. I can’t wait to run it again in 2020.

This was the best race I’ve ran! Beautiful course, beautiful and clean city, wonderful volunteers, aide stations were amazing and I BQ for the first time! Worth the drive from St Louis.

ABOUT US
The 2021 Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon was a USATF certified course starting in Grafton, WI and winding it’s way along beautiful Lake Michigan and north shore suburbs until our enthusiastic crowds welcomed you to the finish line at the world-famous Summerfest grounds, just a couple yards away from the lake.

Note from the R.D. (August 8, 2022)
Well, it’s official! The first-ever Milwaukee Lakefront Half-Marathon is SOLD OUT! While we would love to keep registrations open for everyone that wants to get in but for safety and the pleasure of runners involved, we did need to put a cap on the numbers. We know that there may be some registered runners that may not be able to make it on race day and we will encourage them to advertise their bib availability. We will allow for bib transfers for the next several weeks. All the details are being worked out and we will share updates on social media. With this being our first year with a new course and a valuable reputation for quality, precision and of course safety, we feel it is best to take a cautious approach in 2022 and perhaps we can expand it a bit in 2023. Both the marathon and half marathon courses have been getting runners excited and certifications are being worked on right now. As soon as the course is measured precisely, we will update our course maps and share them with you. There is so much activity going on behind the scenes and our race staff are working diligently in their respective roles to put on the best Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon (and Half Marathon, 5k and Youth run) experience possible. We hope you continue y0ur training and will join us on October 2nd so you can witness the efforts we’re putting in and realize that you were a part of history! Get excited…get ready….were almost there!
