Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon
The 44th Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon, Wisconsin's largest and oldest marathon, is set against the backdrop of Milwaukee, offering scenic views of the city's skyline. This established event provides a significant challenge within the local running scene, rooted in a rich history along the Lakefront.
The course travels along the Lake, presenting views throughout the race. Runners will experience the iconic Hoan Bridge as a key feature, making for a journey through Milwaukee on a route celebrated for its distinctive path.
The Milwaukee Beer Run 5k & .05k
The Milwaukee Beer Run 5k & .05k begins and ends at The Bavarian Bierhaus in Glendale, north of Milwaukee. This October running event connects to Milwaukee's Original Oktoberfest. It offers a chip-timed 5K for runners and walkers, plus a very short .05K option covering only 54 yards.
The 5K follows the Oak Leaf Trail out and back, leading finishers directly into the Oktoberfest festivities at Old Heidelberg Park. Registration provides all-day festival access, a Beer Run sweatshirt, a collector's cup, and a post-race craft beer or root beer from The Bavarian Bierhaus. The event benefits Hunger Task Force via a donation and food drive. Its setup accommodates all ages, including club runners, casual joggers, walkers, families, and those primarily interested in the short dash and the subsequent party.
Race For Open Space
Race for Open Space on Nantucket offers 5K, 10K, and 2-mile distances, allowing runners, walkers, and joggers to select a distance suitable for their day. The course follows a rolling route through the Middle Moors, an island landscape the event helps protect.
The race directly supports the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, with proceeds funding its science, restoration, and stewardship of open spaces on the island. With over two dozen events held, it functions as a local tradition centered on crossing the land it benefits.
KEYS 33rd Annual 5K Run/Walk
The KEYS 33rd Annual 5K Run/Walk takes place on a fall Sunday morning in Kewaskum, Wisconsin, beginning at 11:00 a.m. from 1510 Bilgo Lane. This is a straightforward 5K for runners and walkers. Packet pickup is available beforehand at the front of Kewaskum High School, and the entry fee is $25.
The race benefits KEYS, Inc., a nonprofit established in 1985 to provide scholarships for Kewaskum High School graduates. The event features a Gaining Grit warm-up, announcements, the National Anthem, and awards at 12:15 p.m. Runners must be present to claim their medals. Participants range from young children to older adults, with age-group medals awarded for categories from 4-7 years up to 70-plus. Cash prizes are also given to the top overall male and female finishers. A new course record will be rewarded with $200; the current records are 17:58 for women and 15:22 for men. Following the race, Kewaskum Booster Club concessions offer another opportunity to support KHS students.

This event offers trail running and walking options: 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances, along with a 1K for children under 10. The event typically hosts 100 to 500 participants, taking place within Nashotah Park.
The course features wide, maintained trails covered in wood chips. Over 90% of the race unfolds within the park's wooded areas, passing Forest Lake and Grass Lake. The terrain is characterized as fast and flat, suitable for trail runners seeking less technical challenges on longer distances. Families are included, with children in the 1K receiving their own bibs, and this kids' race is complimentary for registered parents.

Bodies Race Company organizes the event as part of its local race series, catering to runners seeking chip-timed results and families looking for a low-pressure seasonal run.
The courses feature flat, paved loop or out-and-back routes within the park. The 1-mile and Kid's Dash remain untimed. Children 10 and under may enter the dash for free if they forgo the shirt and medal package. Costumes are encouraged, with trick-or-treat aid stations enhancing the Halloween theme. The finish area provides treats, complimentary photos, a DJ, and a costume contest. The 5K, 10K, and half marathon participants receive custom bibs, designer shirts, finisher medals, live results, and age-group awards. Youth pricing is available for the 5K and 10K.
Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk
Saukville Scare is a Halloween-themed 5K run and walk held in Grady Park, Saukville, Wisconsin. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes. The event caters to both competitive 5K runners and families attending for the holiday activities. It serves as an annual community fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting the Saukville Parent's Association to support elementary school activities and classroom resources.
The 5K race offers cash prizes for the top male and female finishers and awards for winners in each age division. Following the race, Grady Park hosts a costume contest, a pumpkin pancake breakfast, a bounce house, and music by a DJ near the shelter.

The Hot Cider Hustle in Shorewood, Wisconsin, offers a half marathon and several 5K race options. Participants can select a timed 5K, an untimed 5K, a kids’ 5K for those 12 and under, or virtual options for the 5K and half marathon.
The signature finish-line offerings include hot cider, a caramel apple, and a finisher’s mug for all participants. The kids’ race is untimed, providing the same cider, caramel apple, and mug. The #HotCiderHustle tag serves as a straightforward method for sharing race photos.
Dia de los Muertos Run/Walk

The 5K course follows the Fox River, establishing the race within Appleton rather than a generic park setting. Costumes are encouraged, and a participant costume contest takes place after the 5K.

About 5K races in Sheboygan
Sheboygan Training Notes
Sheboygan hosts 60 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Sheboygan by stitching lakefront miles to the Old Plank Road Trail. The Old Plank Road Trail runs roughly 21 miles west from the Kohler Erie Avenue Trailhead, and it is the easy call for base miles or a steady Z2 out-and-back. The Shoreland 400 Rail Trail runs less than 2 miles from Vollrath Park, and it mostly runs along the lake, so it stays cooler. Keyon Tinnon used a north-side-to-lakefront line past Blue Harbor Resort while chasing every city street. Sheboygan County Shoreline Striders Running Club keeps the scene social on weeknights and weekends. Acuity Neonatal Run/Walk, Sheboygan YMCA Freedom Run with myTEAM TRIUMPH, and Old Plank Sunset Half Marathon give the calendar its anchor races.
Locals ride the same coastal grid, then point west when the legs need work. The Old Plank Road Trail carries cyclists toward Greenbush, where the terrain turns from flat to gently rolling and throws one large climb or descent near County Highway S just east of Greenbush. The Lakefront Bike Path begins off Indiana Avenue and connects to the Pier Boardwalk for an easy spin by Lake Michigan. Evergreen Park biking trails connect with Maywood and Quarry Park, and that pocket feels like North Woods riding even while it sits right in town. Sheboygan County Cycling maintains mountain bike trails, builds new ones, runs group rides, and hosts the SCC Classic Cyclocross Race at Quarry Park. The Eisenbahn State Trail, Sheboygan Interurban trail, and Eisenbahn and Bug Line work for longer dirt rails-to-trails days.
Spring, summer, and fall are the clean training months here. Lake Michigan keeps summer runs cooler along the shore, and evening races can bring bugs and mosquitos, so locals plan intervals and long runs with that in mind. Sheboygan carries that coastal oddity too, because the city is the Malibu of the Midwest and once hosted the Dairyland Surf Classic from 1988 to 2012. Winter changes the rhythm for both sports. Runners stay closer to paved paths and town loops, while cyclists lean into fat tires, indoor work, or snow-season access where the Black River Trail in Kohler-Andrae allows snowmobilers.
