Description
Schlitz Park's Run by the River 5k is the only downtown 5K and 2-mile walk that takes runners along the Milwaukee Riverwalk, through Brewer's Hill and around the historic Schlitz Brewery turned office campus. The 5K race was started by the late Gary Grunau, the previous owner of the Schlitz Park campus whose impact on both development and philanthropy changed the downtown scene as we know it.
The Schlitz Park 5K Run by the River and 2-Mile Walk attracts more than 500 runners that include individuals, teams, corporate partners and Milwaukee community members. Each year the 5K has generated thousands of dollars in funds for the selected beneficiary.
New event activations this year include the Tap Yard Beer Garden, live music and a Riverwalk marketplace.
Race Registration for individual runners, corporate teams, and community members will be open in May! Sponsorship activations are now available! For more information email the 5K Coordinator Sam at SDenny@lpc.com.

Race Beneficiary
The Schlitz Park 5K Run by the River and 2-Mile Walk are excited to announce our partnership with the College Possible!
Since 2000, our college access and success programs have helped empower more than 80,000* students from under-represented communities on their path to a college degree.
Our pioneering model matches eligible students with near-peer coaches and an intensive curriculum designed to help them navigate and overcome the most common barriers to getting into college and completing their degree — all at no cost to students or their families.
Today, we’re among the largest college access and success organizations in the U.S. We’ve grown from a single regional office in St. Paul, MN to eight regional sites nationwide, and a growing suite of solutions designed to empower students — and those who serve them — at every stage of the college journey.

In Partnership with Schlitz Park
Schlitz Park is the historic Schlitz Brewery turned downtown office campus that offers the best of urban and suburban features. Combined in a single corporate campus, Schlitz Park is located along the Milwaukee River, connected to miles of bicycle and walking trails and provides three free, onsite fitness centers with guidance and classes offered by our campus Health and Wellness group, Solful Fitness. The fitness studio, Solful Fitness, was brought on as the official corporate wellness provider in July of 2021. Solful Fitness is the 20+ year old health & wellness community built by lead trainer and owner, Lisa Martin. Wanting to cut through the ego of the fitness world, Lisa made it her mission to create a warm, supportive space that centered on her clients. And so the Solful Fitness Family was born. Today Lisa and her team of trainers are dedicated to helping you build an exercise and nutrition routine that allows you to take control of your goals with the support of our incredible fitness community.
