EVENT INFORMATION

We are disappointed in announcing that we are unable to provide our world-class event to you this year and are very thankful to you for your understanding and continued support. We will see you in 2021 for our big 40th Anniversary event.

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!)
Many of our winners participated in the 2020 Olympic Trials so you know the competition is going to be good!
Ride in the school bus from our host hotels or finish line to the warm and dry indoor building prior to race start
Low-cost with coveted benefits (our long-sleeve apparel is 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 beer (no tear-off bib ticket here)
We embrace the World-class athletes as much as the 6.5 hour warriors
99.6% runner satisfaction in 2019
Family and friends can participate in a 5K and cross the finish chute just before you finish your 26.2!
