Cudahy Classic
The Cudahy Classic is one of the Badgerland Striders' Premiere running events of the summer. The race features a cross-country style start leading runners to the Oak Leaf Trail. The ten-mile event is two laps of a mostly flat and fast course, with the shorter five-mile event as a nice complement for those looking for less distance. Enjoy the charm of Sheridan Park as well as the stunning views of Lake Michigan and downtown Milwaukee.
We are continuing our partnership with the Pompeii Men's Club, another Milwaukee area non-profit group! A tasty, freshly cooked sausage will await you at the finish line. Want more than one? Additional sausages can be purchased at checkout.
New this year, the Cudahy Classic Ten-Mile event is the RRCA state of Wisconsin 10-mile State Championship event. There are awards for the first Female and Male in the Open division, the 40+ division, the 50+ division and the 60+ division. There is also a $50 cash prize for each of these winners. Runners who win these awards will be separated from the age group awards for the Cudahy Classic. All runners who register for the Cudahy Classic Ten-Mile event will be eligible for the RRCA awards.
Also this year we are celebrating the 30th wedding anniversary of the Pete and Mary Wysocki who were married at this race in 1996. Mary and Pete Wysocki are long time Badgerland Strider members who have volunteered at many Strider events and have been Volunteers of the year in the past. So, if you see Pete and Mary on the course, congratulate them on their anniversary.
