Event summary

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the Spring Forward Half Marathon & 10K, taking place from March 7th to March 14th, 2026, in beautiful Madison, Dane! This exciting event features two fantastic race options: a scenic half marathon and a new 10K course, both designed to help you shake off the winter cobwebs and embrace the arrival of spring.

The half marathon course consists of two laps around the stunning Madison Arboretum, with a little extra distance added on in Vilas Park, while the 10K participants will enjoy a single lap of the Arboretum. Whether you're gearing up for the Boston Marathon, testing your fitness after the long Wisconsin winter, or simply enjoying a fun workout with fellow runners, this community event promises to be an unforgettable experience. Join us for a celebration of fitness, camaraderie, and the great outdoors!

Organiser's Description

Welcome to Ascent Endurance Group's Spring Forward Half Marathon! We are excited to expand our annual early spring half marathon (and new 10k option), thanks in large part to the support of our friends at Badger State Timing. While we're going more formal, we still expect a low-key community event, with a few added pieces to this year's run.

Whether you're looking to tune up for the Boston or another spring marathon, testing your fitness after a Wisconsin winter, get in a workout with others, or just want to knock out your long run before the time change, we're glad to have you joining us! Please let us know your estimated pace so we can help group athletes with similar goals together.

The half marathon course [https://www.runningahead.com/maps/b8703159322c448482c97c8601f270bf?unit=mi&map=roadmap] is 2 laps of Madison Arboretum (roughly 10k per lap), followed by a ~1.1k add on in Vilas Park. The 10k course is one lap of the Arboretum.
