About the Strider PR - 2026
The Pettit Ice Center's track is the course here, which means no wind, no hills, and no mud. It runs indoors in Milwaukee, so winter weather is irrelevant. Runners choose between a fixed distance or an hour-long effort to see how far they can go. Headphones are not allowed, but music plays over the speakers and requests are taken.
Bring your own water bottle. Volunteers at the end of the track will refill it with water or Gatorade during the run. The race benefits the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, and new, unwrapped toy donations are collected at the venue. A kids' lap around the track and a post-race party follow the main events.
