Madison Central DanceBlue For The Kids 5K

Madison Central DanceBlue For The Kids 5K is run in Richmond, Kentucky, on October 31, 2026. There is one distance, a 5K run and walk over 3.1 miles, starting at 9:00 a.m., with walkers and runners sharing the same course and the same start.

A 5K is the easiest race distance to fit into an existing routine, since three miles is already a normal training run for most people and the only real question is how hard you want to go. To race it, add one session a week of repeated hard efforts of three to five minutes for the month beforehand. To simply enjoy it, run or walk to feel and treat the morning as a slightly longer Saturday outing. Either approach leaves you fresh enough to train normally within a day or two.
