Join thousands of your fellow runners & walkers for the 2023 Storm the Bastille 5K Run/Walk!

Runners and walkers from across Milwaukee gather to commemorate the storming of the Bastille, the 18th-century French prison that sparked the French Revolution. Runners will run through downtown Milwaukee and the Third Ward on a 5k route. The route is not certified but very close. Walkers can end their night halfway at the Milwaukee Athletic Club water station, which is 1.5 miles if they choose. Make sure to stick around for the party that follows this fun night run as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bastille Days!

The race includes a Storm the Bastille T-Shirt, Timed Bib & a post-race beer or bottled water (*NEW*)

This is a timed race by PRIMETIME TIMING.

**Sign up by July 4th to guarantee your T-Shirt**

This run is part of Bastille Days. Bastille Days, Milwaukee’s popular French festival and one of the nation’s largest French-themed celebrations is held in Milwaukee’s Cathedral Square Park downtown. The free four-day bash attracts over 250,000 visitors annually who enjoy live music, an international marketplace, chef and wine demos, French and Cajun cuisine, and roaming busker entertainment.

MPD will be stationed throughout the route to keep everyone safe.
