Spring Forward Half Marathon & 10K
Spring Forward Half Marathon & 10K takes place in Madison, Wisconsin on March 14, 2026. The event is supported by Ascent Endurance Group, Badger State Timing, and Indoorance Athletic Club, with additional sponsors listed for the race. The event is free and described as an early-season community run aimed at local runners.
The event includes these distances:
- Half Marathon: two laps of the Madison Arboretum with a roughly 1.1 km add-on through Vilas Park.
- 10K: one full lap of the Madison Arboretum.
On-course support and volunteers will be present for three hours after the race starts; participants who continue beyond that time will be without course support. Registration notes list minimum ages for each event. Runners are asked to share an estimated pace during registration to help group similar goals, and pacers are planned if available. Indoorance is offering 8 or 12 week training programs for either race distance. Donations are welcomed to help cover event costs and support future editions.
The description provides course layout and basic event structure for a local early-season run at Vilas Park and the Madison Arboretum. Practical details such as registration age limits, training program options, and the duration of on-course support are included. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
