Registration Information:

Team captains should register the entire team and will need to know each team member's name and shirt size. Each team will get to select a team shirt color. Options include yellow, royal blue, red, brown, orange and green.
Rules and General Information:
The race will begin at 10 a.m. in the parking lot to the east of InStep Running & Walking Centers, 403 E. Buffalo St. The lot is near the corner of Buffalo and Jefferson.
Winners will be the first team to cross the finish line at the Milwaukee Ale House after successfully locating all checkpoints and completing required challenges to receive all stamps for your passport.
This is a team race that is part foot race, part trivia and part challenges. Teams of 2-4 players must solve clues to find checkpoints throughout the downtown area. Once the checkpoints are reached, the teams must complete the challenge before moving on. Each team must determine their own route to the checkpoints. Depending on the route chosen, the total course mileage should be 6-8 miles.
Use of wireless devices (cell, texting, GPS, Blackberry, etc.) is allowed. Teams may call friends for help solving clues.
Teams may run, walk or use Milwaukee County Bus or Trolleys to travel to checkpoints. No other forms of travel are allowed (no cars, taxis, bikes, etc).
Challenges are mental or physical and range from deciphering codes, word searches, three-legged race, wheel barrow race, etc. Teams must get their passport stamped for successful completion of challenges.
At the end of the race the team captain must be able to show the team’s completed passport to receive an official finish time.
It is recommended that each participant wear their Great Milwaukee Race shirt during the race.
Competing safely is our number one concern. There is no set course and streets will not be closed. Please obey all traffic laws. Racers may not interfere with other teams or block their progress.
Racers must show identification and sign a release on race day.
All rulings of the Race Official will be final.
Team captains will pick up packets with race shirts at InStep Running & Walking Centers between 4 and 7 p.m. on Friday, June 18 or 8 a.m. and 9:45 p.m. on race-day.
