The&nbsp;Trailbreaker&nbsp;is Waukesha&rsquo;s signature running event, proudly held every year since&nbsp;1993. What began as the vision of three passionate local runners has grown into a celebrated tradition that brings the community together each spring.
Originally featuring a&nbsp;Marathon, Half-Marathon, 5K Run, and 2-Mile Walk, the Trailbreaker offers something for everyone &mdash; from seasoned marathoners to families looking for a fun and active day out.
Since&nbsp;2009, the event has been hosted by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.parkfoundationofwaukesha.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Park Foundation of Waukesha, Inc</a>. as a fundraiser supporting the enhancement of&nbsp;city parks, trails, recreation programs, and Waukesha&rsquo;s urban forest.
In 2023, Silver Circle Sports Events, LLC (SCSE) partnered with the Park Foundation under a long-term agreement to manage all aspects of the Trailbreaker. This collaboration ensures the event will continue to grow while staying true to its community roots and mission.
Whether you&rsquo;re chasing a PR or just enjoying the route, the Trailbreaker is more than a race &mdash; it&rsquo;s a Waukesha tradition.&nbsp;
