MADISON – The City of Madison is teaming up with our area Fleet Feet to encourage a healthy community. The Madison Mayor’s office said Thursday a 5K/10K and fun run is being planned. Registration for the Madison Mayor’s Challenge is now open, with the race set for September 26 starting at Palmer Park. Proceeds for the Mayor’s Challenge will go directly towards upgrades to Kid’s Kingdom park.
The park was established 24 years ago and is in need of repair. The goal of community leaders to not only renovate it, but also make the park universally inclusive to allow children to play, learn and grow together.
Fleet Feet is also offering a training program for beginner runners to gear up for the event. Interested participants can get more information at www.madisonal.gov as well as the Huntsville/Madison Fleet Feet website and store locations.
