Changes to this year's run:

Relocation of start and finish: The new start will begin behind the Double Tree Hotel. It will follow the Lake Michigan Pathway all the way to the Wind Point Lighthouse.

This change will showcase Racine's beautiful lakefront and provide participants a safe and scenic route. We want to showcase Racine’s greatest assets including the Wind Point Lighthouse, Reefpoint Marina, the Racine Zoo, North Beach, and the beautiful Lake Michigan Pathway.

Participants and teams can register online at www.RacineLighthouse.run. Early registration fees start at $25 for the 2 mile, $30 for the 4 Miles, and $45 for the 10 Miles. Those who do not wish to participate can help by sponsoring the event, donating, volunteering, or cheering on the runners along the route.
