Run Madtown

Run Madtown runs over May 29 and 30, 2027, in Madison, Wisconsin. The half marathon (13.1 mi) and the 10K (6.2 mi) start at 7:00 a.m. and a Twilight 5K at 7:00 p.m. Two combined challenges are offered, pairing the 5K with the half marathon or with the 10K. The half marathon is certified, so the distance is measured rather than estimated.

The combined challenges are the interesting part: an evening 5K followed by a morning half is a different proposition from either race alone, and it rewards the runner who treats the first as a warm-up rather than a race. If you take one on, run the 5K at half-marathon effort and keep your real effort for the following morning.
