Walk Run Wag 2017 is in the books, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to all of our participants, sponsors, volunteers and supporters. Your contributions go directly to help the Milwaukee metro area’s neediest animals.

Race results are available here.

Thanks again. See you at WRW2018!

WRW2017 is here! And the weather is forecast to be absolutely perfect for the race and post-race activities. Join us and help support Milwaukee’s neediest animals!

Register in person beginning at 7 a.m. at Hart Park. Runners planning to register today, please note: Day-of registration for all 5k participants, with or without dogs, closes at 8:45 a.m. We must cut off all 5k registration at that time to ensure we can get your information to the timing company to record your run accurately. Planning on walking? Don’t worry, there is no cut-off for registration for walkers, because your walk is not timed.

(Participants registering today will receive a WRW2017 shirt only until our supply runs out. We cannot guarantee your preferred size, or that you will get a shirt, if you register today.)

Registered in advance online or by mail? You can pick up your race materials beginning at 7 a.m. in the registration area. Look for the “packet pickup” sign.

Need a race map? Download the WRW2017 Race Map today to plan your day. We recommend parking on Honey Creek Parkway east of 70th Street (there is a lot of parking on Honey Creek east of 68th).

Race time is 9 a.m. Participants running without dogs will start at that time; runners with dogs and all walkers will start in separate waves immediately afterward as decided by the race director, so plan ahead and be prepared to be within earshot of the start line at 9 a.m. regardless of whether you’re running or walking.

And don’t forget all the post-race activities planned, including:

• Lure coursing with Friends of MADACC
• Agility course by Agility Possibilities
• Allie Faith of 103.7 KISS FM and appearances by some very special guests
• Adorable adoptable dogs from area rescues
• Tasty treats for purchase from Funky Fresh Spring Rolls, Little Havana Express Food Truck, and Punjabi Accent MKE
• Beer for purchase from Leff’s Lucky Town
• Plenty of vendors!

We wish all our runners a personal best today, and ALL of our participants an amazing day! A special thanks to all of our sponsors, our volunteers and every single supporter (this means you!) for helping to make WRW2017 a success. See you at Hart Park!

It’s almost time to get our wag on at Walk Run Wag 2017 and we hope to see you there. Advance registration for the event has now closed, but you can still register in person on July 8, the day of the event, beginning at 7 a.m. at Hart Park. Some other important information for everyone participating:

Early Packet Pickup is Friday, July 7th, 4-7 p.m. at MADACC, 3839 W. Burnham St., West Milwaukee, for anyone who has registered in advance by mail or online. We strongly suggest you bring a copy of your registration confirmation email, either printed or on your smartphone. The packets are alphabetically organized but occasionally a participant’s packet ends up misfiled. This has happened a handful of times, but we don’t want it to happen to you! Having the registration confirmation in hand makes it much easier to troubleshoot.

Runners planning to register July 8 before the 5k start, please note: Day-of registration for all 5k participants, with or without dogs, closes at 8:45 a.m. We must cut off all 5k registration at that time to ensure we can get your information to the timing company to record your run accurately. Planning on walking? Don’t worry, there is no cut-off for day-of registration for walkers, because your walk is not timed.

(Participants registering the day of the event will receive a WRW2017 shirt only until our supply runs out. We cannot guarantee your preferred size, or that you will get a shirt, if you register on the day of the event.)

We’re just days away from the big event and we want to share some important updates with you to make sure you have the best WRW2017 experience possible:

Early Packet Pickup is Friday, July 7th, 4-7 p.m. at MADACC, 3839 W. Burnham St., West Milwaukee, for anyone who has registered in advance by mail or online. We strongly suggest you bring a copy of your registration confirmation email, either printed or on your smartphone.

Runners planning to register July 8 before the 5k start, please note: Day-of registration for all 5k participants, with or without dogs, closes at 8:45 a.m. We must cut off all 5k registration at that time to ensure we can get your information to the timing company to record your run accurately. Planning on walking? Don’t worry, there is no cut-off for day-of registration for walkers, because your walk is not timed and you do not receive a race bib.

We always have long lines for day-of registration, which opens at 7 a.m. Please plan accordingly. We don’t want anyone to miss out on the fun.

Why not skip the lines on July 8 and register in advance? Online registration is available through July 2 and adults who register online are guaranteed a WRW2017 shirt in your preferred size.

(Participants registering the day of the event will receive a WRW2017 shirt only until our supply runs out. We cannot guarantee your preferred size, or that you will get a shirt, if you register on the day of the event. Children, who register for free both in advance and on the day of the event, do not receive a shirt with their registration. Children’s sizes of the WRW2017 shirt can be purchased during the online registration process. Additional adult WRW2017 shirts are also available for purchase during online registration.)

This year’s eye-catching WRW shirt is guaranteed only to participants who register in advance, so sign up by July 2 to get yours!
