MILWAUKEE LAKEFRONT MARATHON 2020

It's the 40th running of the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon and you thought last year was awesome?

​Registration opened on Monday, January 6th at a kick-off party and we are off to a great start!  This year we have incentives for you to sign up early: new price structure that increases the price by $10 every 500 registrations (see below), deferral, bib transfer and insurance options.  There is no reason for you to delay and get the motivation needed to have your best marathon experience yet.  We are looking forward to being your host and seeing you cross our finish line this Fall.

 

Who are We?

You've come to know the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon as a well-organized, perfect-sized event with one heck of an after party at the famous Summerfest grounds but I guarantee that we are going to do whatever we can to make this a truly memorable year.  I hope we can make this your favorite race of all time!

The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon is a USATF Certified Course that starts in front of Grafton High School on Hwy. 60 (about one mile west of I-43). This flat and scenic point-to-point course travels south through rural countryside, quiet north shore neighborhoods and finishes along the shores of Lake Michigan. You can qualify for the Boston Marathon by doing the Lakefront Marathon!

Why do Lakefront?

• Boston-qualifier course (Every year since 1981!)
• Warm and dry Indoor building prior to race start
• Low-cost with coveted benefits (our long-sleeve shirts are going to be best-ever!)
• Unique point-to-point, fun, flat course with just enough "rollers" to keep your interest.  Overall negative grade!
• Produced by energetic and committed volunteers ("For Runners..by Runners"!)
• After-party with live band and plenty of delicious Lakefront Brewing Co. beer (no tear-off bib ticket here)
• World-class athletes encouraging the 6.5 hour warriors
• 99.6% runner satisfaction
• Family and friends can cross the same finish chute in a 5K just before you arrive
