Southeast Wisconsin experienced heavy snowfall causing travel disruptions and power outages. Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office responded to 23 weather-related incidents on freeways. We Energies reported over 1,000 outages before noon Saturday. The Milwaukee Marathon was canceled due to current weather conditions.
The 2023 Milwaukee Marathon was canceled due to a blizzard that made the course conditions impossible to manage and update in a safe manner. This was the latest in a series of troubles for the event since its launch in 2015, including incorrect course measurements and a complete cancellation in 2018. The race had given just 49 days' notice that it was even going to happen, and the new race director, Chip Hazewski, hopes to bring the Milwaukee Marathon back in 2024 with the full 26.2 mile distance in the spring, along with the most popular distance, the half marathon.
