MILWAUKEE — There are literally dozens of runs and walks you can tackle every summer in southeast Wisconsin. But Schlitz Park is offering a new one in June. It could be the shortest run on the season’s calendar.

Schlitz Park announced Thursday it’s hosting what’s believed to be Milwaukee’s first-ever competitive, cash award, one-mile road race. The event will take place Tuesday, June 26th at 5:30 p.m. Starting at the office park, participants will run or walk a challenging course that twists, turns, climbs, descends and loops through the adjacent historic neighborhood.

For the inaugural Schlitz Park Miler, the fastest three men’s and women’s runners under age 20, between ages 21 and 40, and over ages 41, will be eligible for $100, $60 and $40 cash awards.

Timothy Russell, a former aide to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will stand trial on three felony charges. The charges stem from a John Doe investigation that so far, has resulted in three people indicted.

Russell was Walker's deputy chief of staff when Walker was Milwaukee County Executive. Now, Russell is accused of taking money from a fundraiser for veterans during his tenure.

Milwaukee County Court Commissioner Barry Slagle said Monday there is enough evidence to send this case to trial, after hearing the evidence against Russell. Russell is accused of taking more than $20,000 from Operation Freedom, an annual fundraising event for veterans and their families, which Russell coordinated.

An investigator testified about bank statements recording numerous transfers of money. "The transfer out ticket dated November 24th, 2011 in the name of HGPS/Operation Freedom from account ending 4102 is for $5,000 into the personal account of Mr. Russell,"
