MILWAUKEE (June 14, 2013) – Presenting sponsor BMO Harris Bank invites the community to celebrate the third annual Summerfest Rock 'n Sole Run with new specially customized BMO Harris Summerfest Pandora stations to keep runners and fans in tune with each other during the race and throughout the Summerfest season.
