The scene
Milwaukee’s courier race is the Milwaukee Messenger Invitational, an alleycat held every year from 2002 until the pandemic and revived in April 2025. Riverwest hosts the Riverwest 24, a volunteer-run 24-hour race on the last full weekend of July, and the East Side has the RiverBEAST Ride, a checkpoint scramble each August.
