Race to Cure Sarcoma Milwaukee

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Race to Cure Sarcoma Milwaukee, taking place on July 11, 2026, in scenic Franklin, Wisconsin. This inspiring event, offering both a 5K run and a 1-mile walk, is a vital part of a premier national series dedicated to raising awareness and crucial funds for sarcoma research. Held at Whitnall Park – Root River Parkway, the course features a road surface with some elevation, presenting runners with "some hills" to conquer as they enjoy the park's surroundings.

The Race to Cure Sarcoma series, organized by the Sarcoma Foundation of America, is renowned for uniting hundreds of individuals impacted by sarcoma, including patients, survivors, friends, and loved ones, to foster community and support the quest for a cure. Participants can expect a celebratory atmosphere, beginning with packet pickup and same-day registration from 7:00 AM, followed by an opening ceremony at 8:00 AM, and the race start at 8:30 AM. All registered participants receive a t-shirt and a medal, and the event welcomes dogs on leashes, strollers, and wheelchairs, ensuring inclusivity for all who wish to join.

Prepare for typical race day conditions in mid-July, with historical highs around 90°F and lows around 69°F, and a 17% chance of precipitation. This event is more than just a race; it's a powerful demonstration of solidarity and hope, making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by sarcoma. The finish line brings not only a sense of accomplishment but also an estimated closing ceremony and awards at 9:30 AM.
