Time is running out to register for the Brewers Mini-Marathon, presented by PNC. The 7th annual event gives runners the option of conquering a half marathon, 10K or 5K. Each course leads participants through Miller Park along the warning track before finishing outside the ballpark on Frederick Miller Way. The races will take place on Saturday, September 22 starting at 7:00 a.m. CT and all participants will receive an exclusive race shirt and finishers' medal, as well as a ticket voucher to a select 2019 Brewers game.
Miller Park will open the field level seating bowl for spectators to join the excitement and cheer for their favorite runners as they come through the stadium and see themselves on the scoreboard. The Post-Race Tailgate Party in the Aaron Lot will include live music by Milwaukee's own Element 13, refreshments for purchase, displays by race sponsors and two free cold beers for each finisher over the age of 21.
Exciting updates to the course were finalized in 2017 for the half marathon. Runners now make a loop in Walker's Point from miles three to five and complete an out-and-back on the Honey Creek Parkway before winding through Doyne Park at mile eleven. The 5K route changed as well with an extended section on the Hank Aaron State Trail for a change of scenery. Course information can be found at BrewersMini.com. 
Since inception, the Brewers Mini-Marathon has partnered with the MACC Fund and encouraged participants to fundraise in support of childhood cancer research. The MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer) has contributed over $60 million to childhood cancer and blood disorder research since 1976. Brewers Mini-Marathon participants have raised over $240,000 in the past six years.  
Volunteers are still needed for the event. Those who are interested can find more information and sign up for available shifts at BrewersMini.com.
