Badger Challenge Run/Walk

The Badger Challenge Run/Walk is a charitable event held in Madison, Wisconsin, supporting cancer research at the University of Wisconsin. Scheduled for September 21, 2025, it offers a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5K run/walk, both on well-supported courses with rest stops and shuttle services. The half marathon features a 420-foot elevation gain, while the 5K takes place on closed roads around the American Family Insurance Headquarters.

Participants receive a long-sleeve shirt, finisher medal, and professional photos, and enjoy a post-event celebration. A Global Program allows remote participation, enabling runners and walkers worldwide to contribute to the cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
