Event summary

Join us for the inaugural Aspire 5K and Fun Run/Roll on Saturday, July 20, 2024, in beautiful Madison, Dane! This exciting community event is designed to celebrate summer, promote physical activity, and raise funds for outdoor play spaces at Aspire Therapy clinics.

Participants can choose to take on the 5K race, a scenic 3.1-mile course winding through the picturesque trails of Elver Park, featuring varied terrain with hills, trees, and prairies. The race kicks off at 10 AM, with aid stations conveniently located at 0.9 miles and 2.3 miles to keep runners energized.

Organiser's description

Join us for the first annual Aspire Therapy 5K and Fun Run & Roll! Let us come together as a community to celebrate summer, move our bodies, and raise funds for outdoor play spaces at our Aspire Therapy clinics!

We like to think we have a race option for all! If you enjoy running, jogging, hiking, or walking, the 5K distance is a great option for you! The 3.1 mile course will take you throughout the trails of Elver Park, up and down hills, through the trees and across prairies! There will be one aid station at 0.9 miles and 2.3 miles in the 5K route. We ask that runners gather in the front at the starting line, and walkers behind the runners! The 5K will start promptly at 10am!

We also have a fun run/walk and roll option! We will have ~250 meters marked on the paved path for our younger clientele, those who use mobility devices, or those who are just looking to come and support our mission! Fun run participants can do as many laps as they want! We will have a poster board to tally the number of laps you do! The Fun Run will start after the 5K, around 10:05am!

Please check in at the small pavilion starting at 9:30am. There will be a white Aspire tent with banners, and this is where you will receive your bib number (and shirt if you registered by July 2nd).

At the conclusion of the runs, there will be light refreshments, including fruit, water, and goldfish. We also hope you will stick around and enjoy the splash pad and accessible playground!
