Run Madtown - 2027

Run Madtown is back for 2027 and ready to kick off summer in true flamingo style! Join us in the heart of the

University of Wisconsin, Madison campus for an unforgettable two-day running festival filled with high energy, big

smiles, iconic views, and a community that knows how to celebrate.

Choose your adventure Saturday evening with Rudy’s Rainbow Mile or Twilight 5K or Sunday morning take on the

10K or Half Marathon. Looking for a challenge? Take on multiple event distances with one of our multi event

packages and make it a full weekend experience. Whether you’re chasing a PR, walking with friends, or just here for

the flamingo magic, Run Madtown welcomes every pace, celebrates every story, and every member of the flock.

Run through the heart of Madison past beautiful lakes, historic landmarks, cheering crowds, and unforgettable

views before crossing the finish line into one of the most fun post-race parties. Expect music, medals, glitter,

smiles, and plenty of summer vibes all weekend long.

Grab your crew, plan your race-cation, and join the flock for Madison’s ultimate kickoff to summer.
