Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon

The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, follows the shores of Lake Michigan, with open views of the water and the city's landmark bridges. The marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km) and half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) start at 7 a.m. on October 3, 2027, and the 5K runs at 10:30 a.m. on October 2, 2027. The weekend also includes the Walk The Hoan walking event.

The route blends nature and city, showing Milwaukee from a different angle between lakefront promenades and lively neighborhoods. The range of distances makes the event accessible both to experienced runners and to newcomers, in a fall setting known for its light over the lake, with every stride framed by the Great Lakes horizon.
