Event Description
Milwaukee runners have banded together to host a free race on the day the of Lakefront Marathon. All are welcome on October 2nd at South Shore Park to run a "timed" 5k, 10k, Half or Full Marathon. Volunteers from OMG, Badgerland Striders, and November Project will host aid stations, mark and measure the course, run as pacers, post mile markers, offer a starting line timer clock, and print bibs with a number! (no chip time though). We'll also throw an after party.
The Marathon will start at 7:00am. Half Marathon at 8:00am. 10k and 5k at 8:30am. Finish line festivities kick off at 9:00am. All distances are 'out and back' routes. The marathon route repeats the half marathon course twice. Race results will be posted to our public website. However, this is NOT an official course and is not a Boston qualifier. Sorry. With a little luck and a reduction in bureaucracy, the official Lakefront Marathon hosted by Badgerland Striders will be back next year!
