The University of Wisconsin-Parkside race course is located in northern Kenosha County, five miles south of Racine. Milwaukee is 25 miles north. Chicago is 60 miles south. Highway I-94 passes four miles west of the campus. Highway E runs east from I-94 and leads directly to the race course.
We will be running the FLXC MW 5K, which was only run three times in UW-Parkside history. We switched from the traditional route to ensure that we would have the best possible course conditions. The Coach Fed Youth 3K is basically the first three kilometers of the traditional UWP 5K course.
