About the 12th Annual Cream City 5K Run
The race is held at Greenfield Park in Milwaukee and is organized around a cause: honoring donors and the lives that organ, tissue, and eye donation saves. The course is a loop, which keeps the surroundings consistent and the terrain readable throughout. Several distance options mean the park fills with a wide range of participants, from competitive runners to families with small children.
Packet pickup runs the two evenings before the race at Performance Running Outfitters in Brookfield, with a race-morning window available at the park as well. Post-race food and drink are set up at the finish line.
