About the race
The Dick Lytie Classic takes place on Saturday, March 20, 2027. The event offers the following race distances:
- 3 mile
- 15K
- Half Marathon
The event includes the "Mighty Lytie Challenge," which asks participants to complete all three distances in one week. Challenge participants must run the half marathon on race day and may complete the other two distances during the week beginning March 13. Challenge entrants receive a Dick Lytie t-shirt plus additional Green Bay Running Club swag that may include a running hat, socks, gloves, bondi bands, or a cinch bag.
Proceeds benefit the Green Bay Running Club Kid's Running Program. Funds support scholarships for high school senior cross country and track and field athletes and help the Green Bay Shoe Closet provide running shoes to athletes in need.
Race day logistics include packet pick up at Red Smith School, 2765 Sussex Rd, Green Bay, WI, entering at the north entrance marked "Activities." Designated parking areas include the Red Smith School lot, the lower lot off Durham Rd, and specified sides of surrounding roads; other areas are marked no parking.
The course uses much of the original route and includes hills and long climbs. Bellin Health provides medical coverage at the start and finish and at two aid locations: the corner of Bay Settlement Road and Church Road, and on Van Lanen Road near Nicolet Drive. Water, medical staff, and porta potties are available at those two locations. Awards are presented by distance and post race festivities include food donated by Festival Foods, Big Apple Bagels, Breadsmith, and Premium Water.
