Feel the pulse of Madison as 10,000+ participants flock to downtown State Street for the annual Crazylegs Classic, a springtime tradition that's all heart, sweat, and cheers!****Birthed from the minds of three Badger enthusiasts in a campus bar, this event has turned into a phenomenal fundraiser for UW Athletics––thanks to a nod from Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch himself.****Since its humble start in 1982 with 1,525 runners, the Classic has exploded in popularity, adding a walker's division and hitting a record-shattering 20,415 participants in 2010.****After nearly four decades, with 354,000 feet having pounded the pavement, the Crazylegs Classic isn't just a race; it's a badge of honor—a vibrant beacon that heralds the joys of spring to the Madison community and beyond. Join us to make more than just strides; become part of a legacy!************
