About this adventure
Milwaukee's big Thanksgiving-morning run takes over the lakefront streets of Veterans Park, and every finisher gets a donut. Little ones can do the free 100-meter Kids Dash (everyone gets a finisher ribbon) before the 5K and 8K start; kids 11 and under also have their own untimed 5K Kid's Division Fun Run, and grown-ups can run, walk the untimed 5K, or take on the chip-timed 8K. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee is the 2026 charity partner. Registration is through RunSignup.
