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.

Note from the R.D.
Thank you for your patience. While I realize that we are opening a month later than we normally have, I can tell you that our staff has never worked so hard in the “off season” as we did this year. While there are still hurdles to cross, we are feeling very confident that our efforts are going to make you very happy. Not only are we formalizing a new course, we are so excited for being able to offer a half marathon distance to our established marathon and 5k events. I am so proud to be working with a dedicated staff who wants to offer the best racing experience you could want. For our out-of-town guests, we welcome you to Milwaukee and cannot wait to share many pleasant surprises. From a safe, accurate and scenic course to multiple beverages and great selection of merchandise waiting for you at the finish line celebration with music and plenty of backdrops for your social media posts, you will not find a race that wants your participation more. If we can answer any questions that you and your friends/Club may have, do not hesitate to reach out and let us know how we can make your experience the best one yet. October 2, 2022 is going to be magical!
