Warrior Rush Milwaukee is a road race held at Estabrook Park in Shorewood, Wisconsin (the Milwaukee North Shore area),

with four events—5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon—taking place at the same event.

Since the event description uses the term 'inaugural,' meaning the first edition, it is a new race in the Milwaukee area.

Because a separate event under the same Warrior Rush brand is also held in Wheaton,

Illinois (the Chicago area), it appears to be part of a race series that travels between multiple cities.

Estabrook Park is a riverside park along the Milwaukee River,

and its course course is characterized by running through green space along the river while remaining close to downtown.

Finishers receive a custom finisher medal and a commemorative cotton-blend T-shirt.

After passing through finish, the post-race activities continue with an after-party hosted by DJ Minotaur, snacks and drinks, and commemorative photos.

Awards are presented as 'Skull' age-group finisher medal pins to the top three men and women in each age group, from age 10 and under through age 80 and over.

Stations & transport near the venue

Getting to the start

Estabrook Park, Field 3 Volleyball Courts (4400 N Estabrook Dr, Shorewood WI) - nearest MCTS bus stop is on N Oakland Ave/E Capitol Dr, about a 10-15 min walk into the park; no subway or rail exists in the Milwaukee area

Stations & transport near the venue

Milwaukee has no subway/metro, only MCTS city buses.

The transit card is WisGo (formerly M-Card), reloadable at Walgreens, some Pick n Save stores, or the WisGo app;

a single ride is about $2.25.

Foreign contactless bank cards do not tap directly at the farebox - you need a WisGo card or the app.

From downtown, a taxi/rideshare to Estabrook Park takes roughly 15-20 minutes and is the simplest option for an early race start.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The race venue is Estabrook Park Field 3 (volleyball court area), 4100 Estabrook Pkwy, Shorewood, WI.

Registration and BIB pickup are listed as taking place from 5:45 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. on race day,

so participants in events with early starts, such as half marathon and full marathon, should arrive with plenty of time.

The exact start time and Entry fee may vary by event, so check the official registration page for final details.

Chip timing is used for real-time results, and finishers receive finisher medal and a T-shirt as standard.

With events ranging from the 5K to full marathon, there may be time limits for pace groups or course sections (time limit),

so participants in the full marathon and half marathon in particular should check the latest announcements on the registration page.

An after-party is planned, so allowing time to take part rather than leaving immediately after finishing is another way to enjoy the event.

Times are local to Shorewood. Check the latest official information before the race.
