The 6.2-mile Bellin Run will feature an additional wave start this year. There were seven waves of runners and walkers last year.

“It’s a proactive move,” Bellin Run executive director Randy Van Straten said. “We’re adding another runner wave to accommodate continued growth and keep congestion in the start corrals to a minimum for the safety and overall enjoyment of our participants.”

The change will separate the stroller division from walkers, race organizers say.

After six initial runner waves start the race, a seventh wave of strollers followed by an eighth wave of walkers will begin the run/walk event. “It’s all geared toward making this an increasingly pleasurable experience for all Bellin Run participants,” Van Straten said.

The 34th annual Bellin Run will take place at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 12.
