Milwaukee Marathon Race Details

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Event Cancellation

Due to current conditions along the course and surrounding streets, and concerns for safety during today’s packet pickup and tomorrow morning, we have made the difficult choice to cancel this Sunday’s event.

Unfortunately, the circumstances will not allow us to hold an event that meets our standards for a safe and successful race for participants, volunteers, and all other stakeholders. In the upcoming days, we will collaborate with officials to explore all possibilities for 2023 and plan to provide participants with all available options, such as deferral to another event, virtual participation, or a full refund.

Thank you to the Milwaukee running community for your understanding. We will follow up with next steps and more information as soon as possible.
