LOGISTICS INFORMATION

The Fall Classic Run is first and foremost designed with the competitor in mind. The 5km and 10km courses are challenging and uniquely rewarding to the competitor, and provide ample opportunities for spectators to cheer on the competitors. In fact, runners in the 10km can be cheered 5-6 times within 1/3 of a mile from the Start/Finish area.

The Start/Finish area is located on the Northwest side of Menomonee Falls High School. Parking is available in the North parking lot of the high school. Please do not park on the streets near the Start/Finish area.

The Fall Classic Run 2011 will be held rain or shine on Sunday, October 23, 2011. The 10Km race will start at 10:30 A.M., followed by the 5Km race at 10:40 A.M. The courses will be open until approximately 12:00 P.M.

The Kids Race will start immediately after the 10k and 5k races are completed, just before the Awards Ceremony.

Restrooms will be available near the Start of the 10Km and 5Km races.  In view of feedback from competitors in 2010, we will provide additional facilities for the 2011 Run.

There will be one water stop on the 5Km course at approximately 1.5 miles.  The same water stop will be used for the 10Km course, providing two water stops at approximately 1.5 miles and 4.6 miles.

COURSE MAPS AND DESCRIPTIONS

Maps for The Fall Classic Run 2010 are available below. The updated courses offer enjoyable and safe running routes, and offer a unique challenge to every runner. Spectators will find that the courses provide many opportunities to cheer on the competitors.

• 10 Km Race
• 5 Km Race

5 Kilometer Run

The 5Km Race starts and finishes on the Northern side of Menomonee Falls High School on Franklin Drive.  The 5 Km run is a single loop course with a few different vantage points for your family and friends to watch the race and to cheer you on to a fast time.  The course is downhill for the first mile, and has rolling hills and flat sections in the second and third miles.  The run is both challenging and rewarding for the runners and spectators.

The 5Km race follows MacArthur Drive along Rotary Park with views of the Menomonee River, and also passes through peaceful residential areas. 

10 Kilometer Run

The 10Km Race also starts and finishes on Franklin Drive on the Northern side of Menomonee Falls High School.  The 10 Km run is a two-loop course that follows the 5 Km race on the first loop.  The second loop of the 10 Km race substantially follows the first loop, with an additional inner loop on Oxford Street and MacArthur Drive. 

The 5Km and 10Km runs have been designed to maximize competition and spectator viewing.  In particular, the 10 Km race can be viewed multiple times without having to walk or run very far from the Start/Finish area.  In doing so, the spectators can greatly increase the competitive environment and can generate an electric atmosphere for the runners.
