THE END IS NEAR!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! Well, the Running Season end is near anyway, not so sure about the apocalypse just yet. Lets celebrate an awesome 2026 running season with your favorite season ending event.
Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun!!
The Lakefront Discovery Run features fun, with a 15k, a 5k, and a FREE Kids run!. Each distance can be run, walked, skipped, or hopped. There are age group awards as well as for overall winners. More importantly, there will be an award for ‘Best Costume’ as voted on by the event volunteers (please don’t attempt to bribe the volunteers. Bribe the Race Director, because at the end of the day, it's their call). Those in Costume get FREE BEER!! Also should be noted, those NOT IN Costume get free beer too (but no ALL CAPS announcement for them, damnit).
The run begins at Veteran's Park and provides a delightful tour of Milwaukee’s lakefront. Candy laden aid stations line the course to fuel your run and satisfy your sweet tooth, and MONSTER MILE Markers along the way. Each runner/volunteer receives an event t-shirt (Runners who register after Oct 18th ARE NOT guaranteed a shirt), traditional post-race snacks, spooky music (what does that even mean?), and enough candy to make a dentist cringe! We ordered great weather, but just in case, we'll have a heated tent for the post race shenanigans. Come out and celebrate a successful season of running!

Buena Tierra Run Club emerged from a simple revelation. After co-founder Patrick ran through Chicago's Latino Pilsen neighborhood, he knew Milwaukee needed a space where Latino runners could gather, celebrate, and reshape the health narrative in their community. Founded in November 2023, what started with seven people at a first run has grown into a movement of more than 250 runners. Now they gather regularly at Milwaukee's Zócalo Food Park, building a community bound by movement, pride, and the spirit of the Southside. Every run is free and open to all, a chance to inspire the next generation and rep Milwaukee in a way that truly speaks to you.
