So it was decided that we'll run the Milwaukee Running Festival on October 14th and 15th. Since making that decision, the race has undergone a new website
http://www.runmilwaukeemarathon.com
The race offers distances of a 1 mile (on the 14th), 5k, 10k, 13.1, and 26.2.
10/14&15/17 - Milwaukee Running Festival - Milwaukee, WI - 1 mile, 5k, 10k, 13.1, 26.2 - $25, $30, $40, $80, $90 - March 31st - http://www.milwaukeerunningfestival.com/registration.html

So the discussion has been bounced around a bit on getting a DIS group together for the same non-Disney race in the Chicago/Milwaukee/Madison area. So I put together a list with the suggested timeframe and chose the Milwaukee, WI greater area since it's about 60-120 minutes from most of the people who had interest before (keeping it to a morning drive so no one has to get a hotel if they don't want to). In addition, I posted to the board rather than a private conversation in case there are others in the area who wanted to join (all are welcome!).
So, I tried to find races in the Milwaukee, WI area between July 1st, 2017 and December 31st, 2017 that offered a range of distances, and didn't break the bank. This is not an exhaustive list and I'm definitely open to other suggestions as well.

@roxymama @opusone @rteetz @pixarmom @mateojr @*DisneyDreamer @Tardisblue
@surfde22 @DisSconnie (little further away for you two though)
If I'm forgetting someone please tag them as well.
For me personally, I will treat this as a training run and help @roxymama crush whatever goal she wants to crush!
