Bucks become presenting partner for the 2019 Milwaukee Marathon

The Milwaukee Marathon, presented for the first time by the Milwaukee Bucks, will start and finish at the plaza in front of Fiserv Forum on Saturday, April 6.

 

From 7 a.m., when the marathon starts, to about 2 p.m., a festival will take place on the plaza where people can enjoy food and beverages, provided by Fiserv Forum’s food and beverage provider Levy, as well as music and games from the Bucks Entertainment Network.

 

Following the festival, the marathon’s male and female winners will be honored during the 4 p.m. Bucks game against the Brooklyn Nets.
