Storm the Bastille 5k Run/Walk

Storm the Bastille 5k

Join thousands of your fellow runners & walkers for the 2026 Storm the Bastille 5K Run/Walk!

Race attendees from Milwaukee gather to commemorate the storming of the Bastille, the 18th-century French prison that sparked the French Revolution. This year's 5k route will take participants through downtown Milwaukee's East Town and the Third Ward neighborhoods. While the route is not officially certified, its close in distance. Walkers are welcome to complete the course at the halfway point in front of the Milwaukee Athletic Club, located 1.5 miles from the starting line. Make sure to stick around for the party that follows as we celebrate Bastille Days!
