GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – On the heels of last weekend’s Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, runners are now preparing for the popular Bellin Run on June 11th.
It’s a big milestone for the race as they’re celebrating their 40th year.
Assistant Race Director Linda Maxwell says they are excited to hand out new goodies for runners and walkers.
“We are doing finishers medals for everyone in the 10k, in addition, all of our participants will get a tech shirt. The color is cool gray. It will have a front and back design signifying the anniversary year. The design on the back actually has 40 stars going around it and it’s got a cool Olympic theme.”
Music lovers are in for a treat too. This year’s race soundtrack has been kicked up a notch.
“Not only will we have our first music mile, where we have synchronized music throughout the first mile, but then we will have six bands throughout the course and Astor Park,” says Maxwell.
She says you’ll be running through the decades.
“So, we’ll have our 70’s band. We’ll keep with our traditional island music and then we’ll have an 80’s band, a 90’s band, and a 2000’s band.”
The course is the same as last year and will start and finish in front of the Bellin Hospital on Webster Avenue in Green Bay.
Maxwell says last year the race had 16,500 runners and walkers.
