CANCELLED: 2020 Cream City Classic

It is with sadness but also hope for a healthy and thriving Milwaukee community, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this upcoming annual event. Public health and safety are our top priorities. This event relies heavily on people gathering in close proximity which puts not only those in attendance at risk of COVID-19 infection but also everyone they interact with. In consideration of the health and well-being of the artists, swimmers, spectators, volunteers, and contractors who make these events possible, the choice to cancel is clear. The Cream City Classic, a 1.5 mile open water swim race in the Milwaukee River, has been an incredible celebration of progress made in water quality, promoting stewardship, access, and inclusion. We will swim again. Participants have shown all of us how meaningful and moving this event is.
