Event Description
Come out to support the Hank Aaron State Trail and enjoy the beautiful route. The Run/Walk route takes you through Three Bridges Park crossing the Menomonee River, through restored prairie and provides a dramatic view of Miller Park in the home stretch. This route is steeped in history and located along Milwaukee's former rail and industrial corridor. The transformation of this area over the past 20 years is worth visiting over and over again. Stick around to enjoy the live band, celebrity hosts, root beer floats, burgers hot off the grill, silent auction, and prizes galore! Arguably, one of Milwaukee's best events all summer long!
