2020 Milwaukee Marathon, Milwaukee - CANCELLED/Virtual Run:

Due to the concern surrounding the coronavirus, and The Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ mandate prohibiting public gatherings, we’ve been forced to cancel the upcoming Milwaukee Marathon on April 11, 2020.

We understand how disappointing this is, and we’re just as heartbroken as you are.  We’ve already put a lot of time and resources into setting up the event.  Medals and t-shirts have been ordered; permits have been secured; the course has been inspected and approved; and a ton of event production expenses have already been paid for. Due to unknown timelines, scheduling restrictions and other considerations, rescheduling the event is not an option at this time, and we want to provide participants with an immediate alternative.

The entire country is being severely impacted, but we still want to do the best we possibly can for you.  

We want to ensure that you don’t miss out, so we’re turning the Milwaukee Marathon, Half, and 5K events VIRTUAL! 

The Half Marathon course starts and finishes at the Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee and takes runners across the Milwaukee River, through the heart of downtown Milwaukee and over to the Lake Michigan Waterfront before journeying through Marquette University campus.

The 5K flows from the Fiserv Forum, through Downtown until reaching the the Lake Michigan Waterfront. From there, runners will turn around near the Art Museum before returning to Fiserv Forum and the festival.

The Milwaukee Marathon doesn't end at the finish line – the fun continues with an awesome after-party right outside the Fiserv Forum.

There will be music, food, drinks, vendor booths and giveaways to enjoy, plus appearances by the Bucks Beat Drum Line, Milwaukee Bucks Dancers, Milwaukee Bucks Hoop Troop and Bango, the Bucks mascot.

In addition, Good City Brewing, Punch Bowl Social and Drink Wisconsinbly Pub will be open for business offering great food, drinks, and views of the after-party!

If you've achieved an exceptionally low finish time at a marathon or half marathon in the past two years, we have a couple of perks for you! The first is a special Elite Runner Corral at the front of the pack to ensure you get a fast start right out of the gate. The second is a fully comped entry to this year's race!
