Run buy runners for runners

This was my 17th time to run the MLM and it is always a well run race. Crowd support is what you can expect especially once you get into the city and the volunteers are great. For runners by runners.... and they mean it.

This is a flat and fast point to point course that has you running through scenic fields, neighborhoods, parks and by the lake. Great volunteers and swag. Two thumbs up!

This was my second running of the Lakefront Marathon - and No Surprises isn't a bad thing. This is a solid race - organized and managed by the Badgerland Striders - runners who know running! The point to point race is well organized - well-staffed water stations - good pace groups. Lots of support along most of the course.

Only thing keeping it from 10 stars? Parts of the course from about mile 16-20 - you run on part of the road and the shoulder - not great footing. Oh - and the pretzels at the end weren't warm! :-) This is really a race you can't go wrong with.

This race shuttles runners to the start line and then begins the long run back. Very flat and scenic. Good water stops and volunteers. Small expo at the race hotel. One of my favorite races to date.

Good course; well organized; right amount of people; the weekend before the Chicago Marathon; and staying/eating/drinking in Milwaukee is cheap (probably because LF marathon isn't the official Milwaukee marathon).
