The Lakefront Discovery Run features two race distances: a 15k and a 5k and a free Children's race. Each distance can be run, walked, skipped, or hopped. There will be age group awards as well as awards for overall winners. More importantly, there will be an award for ‘Best Costume’ as voted on by the event volunteers (please don’t bribe the volunteers). The run begins at Veterans Park and provides a delightful tour of Milwaukee’s lakefront. There will be candy laden aid stations on the course to fuel your run and satisfy your sweet tooth. Each runner AND volunteer will receive an event t-shirt, traditional post-race snacks, enough candy to make a dentist cringe and the best part? Oh, we’ve got a rocking post-race party planned with free beer and snacks! Come out and celebrate a successful season of Strider running!

This is a Prediction Run: All runners, regardless of speed have a chance to win a turkey! How do you do it? When you sign up, you will be asked to predict your race finish time. Enter your prediction, then run that time on race day. It's as easy as pie, or in this case turkey!

Awards: 25 participants in each event who finish closest to their predicted time will receive a full-sized turkey.  Limit one turkey per family. A total of 50 turkeys will be given away at the event! The number of turkeys awarded could be lowered if the number of registered runners is below 200. You must be present to win, we can not hold these frozen birds or deliver them.  

Special Rules: No watches or timing devices allowed. No splits will be given. No mile markers provided.

Strider PR

Sun December 8, 2024

GOOD DAY to HAVE A PR!!!  A Pettit Race that is!

We're doing both a 5k distance and a One Hour run off-season mojo on a super fast track (Hint: no wind/no hills)

We are going to run as far as you can in one hour! Sure, you may wish to compete against the runner for you (and how much fun is that!) but you are also going to push yourself farther and faster than you ever have just because you know the clock is clicking...down!!!!

But wait -there is even a third option?!?!? We have a "virtual" outside running option. This is for the people that don't necessarily like running inside in circles but want to support the great causes associated with this race, want the cool Strider PR shirt, and want to enjoy the post run party.  

And we’re continuing the fun with a kids run of 1 lap around the track! this will take place immediately after the One Hour Run at approximately 10:10 am

This year's Swag is an Ugly Sweater themed Long Sleeve Shirt
