MILWAUKEE -- For the fifth year in a row, the annual Brewers Community Foundation 5K Famous Racing Sausages Run/Walk sold out.
4,000 runners and walkers claimed all available slots in the 14th annual race, which will take place on Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 8 a.m. for runners and 8:15 a.m. for walkers. Fans began registering a month before Opening Day and the last slots were filled Friday.
The race begins at the Klement’s Sausage Haus when the Bratwurst, Hot Dog, Chorizo, Italian and Polish Sausages join the crowd on the course, which then winds through Miller Park. The annual Run/Walk supports the programs of Brewers Community Foundation, the charitable arm of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club.
This year, Brewers Community Foundation has a fundraising component with all proceeds going towards Fisher House Wisconsin. Fisher House provides a “home away from home” for military and veterans families to be close to a loved one while they receive treatment at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee.
