There is a list in the "Two future races" thread.  Check Badgerland Strider's website for a map.

Quite a few of us.  Map of the course is eluding me at the moment.  Vague, but FWIW it goes north up bradford beach, that area at the end of the beach being the main hill on the course.  Then winds around north and comes back.  80% of the race on parkways or other "sheltered" areas so wind not much of a factor until the end.  Then you're along the lake and it can be tough depending on the day.

I found the map on the USAT website. Never did find it on the Striders site. I have it on my laptop at home...currently at the office...no laptop with me.

Click the above link...scroll down to WI...then to Milwaukee...look for Lakefront Discovery Run and click 'MAP'. It's pretty grainy and prints marginally better than screen quality.

Actually, due to bridge contruction on the path, there are two possible routes. I am having difficulty getting into the area of the BLS website that has the links to each route. It will be a last minute decision according to RD. The bridge is still being worked on but unfortunately, it is being worked on by Milwaukee City Public Works Dept. Not moving real fast, in other words.

I would totally run it, because I love me some 15k's, but whose idea was it to have two 15k's on the same weekend? RAM is doing one in Chicago on Sunday, so I signed up for that. Space these races out, people, and then you can draw from the same pool of runners for each one.

I ran the course today (almost all of it) and checked out the bridge situation. Public Works was on the scene and working. Sorry to have doubted them Bob Surprised. Also, I didn't see any red tape, just the yellow CAUTION tape. The bridge looks like it could be ready for Saturday. I couldn't get real close (remember the yellow tape) but the deck looks o.k., just needs some railing work. The path in that area has been re-paved as well. Let's hope that it is open on Saturday!
