Strider PR - 2026

Join us for Racing at the Pettit for the Strider PR on Sunday, Dec 6.  The race supports the Milwaukee Rescue mission with donations of $$ and toys.  All donations stay in the Southeast Wisconsin area

Sunday, December 6 is a GOOD DAY to HAVE A PR!!!  A Pettit Race that is!
 

We're doing both a 5k distance and a One Hour run off-season mojo on a super fast track (Hint: no wind/no hills)

We are going to run as far as you can in one hour! Sure, you may wish to compete against the runner for you (and how much fun is that!) but you are also going to push yourself farther and faster than you ever have just because you know the clock is clicking...down!!!!

But wait -there is even a third option?!?!? We have a "virtual" outside running option. This is for the people that don't necessarily like running inside in circles but want to support the great causes associated with this race, want the cool Strider PR shirt, and want to enjoy the post run party.  Virtual participants still need to show up at the Pettit on Sunday Dec 7 to pick up their swag

And we’re continuing the fun with a kids run of 1 lap around the track! this will take place immediately after the One Hour Run at approximately 10:10 am

This race is one of the many ways Striders support our local charities. Our race will be collecting new toys for the Milwaukee Rescue Mission to distribute to local boys and girls in the Milwaukee area. Please bring an unwrapped toy to help make these holidays a little nicer for a kid in need. Cash Donations will also be accepted!

Greatest needs are the $10 to $15 gifts for Boys and Girls ages 10 – 13. Suggested gift ideas include watches, wallets, jewelry, handheld games, and remote control cars. No gifts will be turned away. Thank you!

--------------------------------------------

Aid Station: Runners must bring their own water bottle because open cups are not allowed near the track due to spillage concerns. There will be water bottle storage tables at one end of the track staffed by volunteers who can refill your bottles with water or Gatorade.

--------------------------------------------

Portable Music Devices: For safety reasons, headphones will not be allowed on the course. Music will be played over the speaker system by Scott and requests WILL be considered so think of a song that will motivate you and make your request at the venue.
