THE Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon

It is with great pride and hope that we are planning a live event to celebrate our 40th running and anniversary of the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon on October 3, 2021.  Our event was cancelled last year and we know there is still much uncertainty but we feel the date of LFM gives us an excellent chance to return to some normalcy and offer an event you have been longing for.  Of course nobody can predict what can and will happen later in the year so we want you to be aware of some  plans we have in place:

1.  We promise to communicate open and honestly with you.
2. If our permits are limited or our medical partners deem that a smaller entry size is deemed necessary, we will eliminate the marathon relay option and be offering the registration slots based on the when you registered.  First in–first asked!  Sign up early and have the best chance of competing in 2021.
3. If we are forced to cancel our event (we will not postpone), we will do so with lots of notice so you are not wondering.  We feel that we will have a “go/no go” by August.
4. Should the event need to be cancelled, we will offer every registrant the opportunity to: defer entry to 2022 or a full refund (minus the registration fee).  We also offer very low cost race insurance (see info. at registration)

Why should you run our 40th Anniversary event and sign up NOW?

It is our 40th Anniversary!  If you’ve enjoyed our event in the past…just wait!!

• First male and female finisher living in Wisconsin will receive a bonus!
• First male or female finisher breaking our course records will receive a $5000 bonus!
• In addition to the ‘brown bag” lunch, we will also be offering a hot entree this year!

Runners from across the world have come to appreciate the beautiful course, energetic volunteers and fans and the incredible value we offer.  If there was ever a time for you to find out why we have a 99.6% satisfaction rating…this will most definitely be the year!
