"It's cool to be at the Brewers' stadium and running around the grounds," said Elizabeth Fritsch. "This is at least our fifth or sixth time."
For Fritsch and her family, the race is a tradition. Her dad, Phil Bird, is a disabled veteran who has stayed at Fisher House facilities in the past.
"It's really nice, like a four-star hotel," Bird said.
