A free, fun, and friendly weekly 5k community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it's up to you!
The course is 5000m (5k) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at 600 N. Park St. (outside the Helen C. White Library), Madison. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths and trail paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.
Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.
Location of start
The event starts at the circle just outside the parking garage at the Helen C. White library (600 N. Park St.) We will be meeting inside the lobby of the Wisconsin Union Theater across from the Helen C White Library during the winter.
