Organiser's Description

MILWAUKEE GOBBLE WOBBLE UPDATE: IMPORTANT EVENT CHANGE

Hi Runners, Walkers & Ruckers,

Yesterday, we shared some exciting updates to the Chilly Willy Winter Run Series including new features, expanded access to heated buildings, and the introduction of rucking.

Unfortunately, we also have a tough update to share:
Weve made the difficult decision to remove the Milwaukee Gobble Wobble from the 2025-2026 series.

As much as weve loved hosting this Thanksgiving tradition, the event no longer meets the standards weve set for exceptional service and participant experience.

Heres why:

* Milwaukee County no longer allows use of the building at Boerner Botanical Gardens on Thanksgiving, which means participants would be left standing out in the cold something were not okay with.
* A new perimeter fence around the property has also made the traditional course route unusable.

Our mission is to exceed expectations at every event, and under these constraints, we simply cant deliver the experience you deserve.

But weve got you covered:
If you registered for the race, your entry has been transferred to the Oconomowoc Gobble Wobble, where weve secured a 40,000 square foot heated building so you can stay warm before and after the race and still enjoy all the holiday fun.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We appreciate your continued support and cant wait to see you at the next starting line!

Warmly,
The Silver Circle Sports Events Team
