The 23rd annual Madison 5K will be held on Sunday, May 3, 2026. We are excited to have a NEW COURSE this year, which will go through Madison ROADS and the TRAILS around Madison High School (MHS) and the Madison Recreation Complex (MRC), and will showcase the many recent improvements to these areas!

The 5k will start and end at the MHS track. The course will consist of two loops that go from the track up the MHS driveway, into the MRC, through the trails behind the MRC, and back up to the high school.

Register by April 5th to ensure you have a chance to order a t-shirt.

Race Day Registration will be available.
