Spirit of Madison 5K

The Spirit of Madison 5K is a community running event held in Madison, South Dakota, featuring a 5-kilometer course through city streets. Unique to this race, participants run or walk while enjoying live performances by local marching band students stationed at various corners and intersections along the route. The event fosters a lively and supportive atmosphere, celebrating the hard work of the music students.

All finishers receive a medal, and the race welcomes strollers and leashed pets. Proceeds fully support the marching band, funding instrument repairs, new instruments, music, and props. Children aged eight and under can participate for free. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
