We invite you to join us and the many runners, walkers, and supporters enjoying the Trail and festivities of the annual 5k Run / Walk.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR RUNNERS, WALKERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND SPONSORS WHO MADE THE 2008 RUN/WALK SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS!

We had nearly 1,300 participants in this year's run/walk, including many team runners and walkers. The course started at Miller Park, wound along Canal Street, ran on the Trail alongside the Menomonee River, and finished again at Miller Park.

We were honored this year to have Mr. Hank Aaron, Gov. Jim Doyle and Mayor Tom Barrett in attendance to address our record crowd.

Master of ceremonies Ted Perry from Fox presided over the festivities which included live music from De La Buena, lots of great raffle prizes and silent auction items from our generous sponsors, informational booths from local organizations, and loads of individual and team prizes, all of which ensured everyone enjoyed the day.

Thank you again to all the runners, walkers, volunteers, and sponsors for supporting the Hank Aaron State Trail.
