Our course
The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon 5K offers participants a unique experience, as it is the only 5k that traverses the iconic Hoan Bridge, providing runners with breathtaking views of the city and the Lake Michigan. This event is truly what you wish to make it, a run to the top and speedy return or a leisurely walk with your stroller or well-behaved dog and anything in between. Come share your experience (and photos) with co-workers, friends and participants from around the world at our after-party complete with a complementary beverage, snacks and the sounds of DJ Flow, direct from Orlando, FL
Water station
There will be one station at the top of the Hoan.
