This loop has been on my bucket list for awhile. I marked the route out on the Strava route builder and saw that it was pretty much exactly 50k so I thought I might try and go get a pr.

I started on Bradley Road on the "Drexel Connector," continued down the Menomonee Line to its end near Miller Park where I picked up the Hank Aaron State Trail. This continues through Milwaukeee and ends at the Summerfest Grounds. I ran up the lake until picking up the Milwaukee River Line to the Zip Line up to Brown Deer Park where I complete the loop on Bradley Road.

Relatively easy route with plenty to see from the woods on the Menomonee line down to the Miller Coors Brewery, to Miller Park, through the breweries on Canal street then to the lake. The hardest part, I think, was that this whole route is on pavement. My legs feel a little bit wrecked.

This run happened during Coronavirus quarantine so the trails were pretty much all mine, and the streets were empty!
