I ran this race in it’s inaugural running in 2014. The Milwaukee lakefront in April can be challenging for running. We had a windy, cloudy day in the 30’s. The parking area at Veteran’s Park is near the start of the race so you can hide in your car until the race starts. It was a smaller 5K and there were no issues with crowding on the trail. I had no issues with the race execution. One of the draws for the race was a free Bloody Mary, but you had to travel to another location to get it. The after race festivities were small so we did not stay long. This is a decent race if you don’t mind the weather and you are looking for a smaller 5K race on the lakefront.
