The 34th annual Bellin Run is an all-inclusive event. It’s welcoming of all ability levels and caters to both the youthful and not so youthful.
Last year’s event drew 16,746 registrants, a record for the fifth consecutive year. This year could draw even more participants. That’s why Bellin Run organizers say they are encouraging runners and walkers alike to practice common sense safety measures and be courteous to ensure their personal well-being and the well-being of their fellow Bellin Run participants.
This year’s race is scheduled for 8 a.m. Saturday, June 12.
“We’re all excited to participate in this yearly…

Organizers for the 34th annual Bellin Run say they aren’t actively encouraging growth, but having experienced five consecutive record registration years since 2004, they’re braced for a possible surge in registrant numbers this year.
As of Tuesday, May 4, registration totals for the 8 a.m. Saturday, June 12 Bellin Run were at 6,980 (with 2,539 first timers) compared to 4,424 during this same period last year. With those figures, organizers say the rapidly growing numbers of signups for the annual 10K (6.2-mile) run/walk through Green Bay and Allouez could approach record proportions – again.

Establishing an appropriate course distance for a children’s run is a challenge.
You don’t want the route to be so long that youngest runners end up being carried to the finish or so short that the more athletic children are left feeling short-changed. To address this challenge, the 2010 Bellin Run Children’s Run will offer two courses, complete with separate start lines.
As with last year, the older children (ages 8-10), will run a full loop around Astor Park, a distance of approximately half a mile.
Younger children (ages 7 and under) will have their own start line on Porlier…

This year’s Bellin Run will offer Gatorade along the 6.2-mile course for the first time in the event’s 34-year history.
Although runners don’t necessarily need the sports drink to complete the race, Bellin Run organizers say they responded to popular demand when they decided to provide Gatorade along the race course.
Feedback from past participants suggested that something sweeter and more energizing than water might help runners and walkers cover the later, more demanding miles of the Bellin Run. For that reason, Gatorade will appear at the 3.1-mile marker along East River Drive.
Bellin Run officials say they expect the…
