On Saturday, September 17th, join with a community of runners to help support children’s Hospital.  Briggs & Als 8k Run is in its 34th year and will be raising money to support critical services at the hospital.

The event will take place at 12th and Wisconsin on the Marquette University campus.

Runner mass starts at 10:30 am.  Runners should line up according to your estimated pace.  This means elite runners will start at the front of the line.  The walkers will line up behind the runners.  There’s a 3 or 5 mile option for walkers.
