Milwaukee Lakefront half marathon runner hospitalized
Event organizers, citing privacy law, said no additional information about the incident would be shared.
A runner in the Milwaukee Lakefront Half Marathon was hospitalized on Sunday morning, October 4th. Event organizers have confirmed the incident but are not sharing any further details due to privacy laws. The half marathon and full marathon both began at 7 a.m. on Sunday. The full marathon route starts near the Baird Center, then circles around Lake Park, passes through Warnimont Park in Cudahy, and returns to Urban Park in Milwaukee, crossing the Hoan Bridge.
This unfortunate event follows a death of a triathlete during the IRONMAN 70.3 race in Madison just a month ago. The deceased triathlete was a 51-year-old man from Colorado. This is the third death since 2019 involving participants in an Ironman event. The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon is designated as a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon.
