It is advised that anyone attending or participating, arrive early so that there is time to find parking and walk to the starting line.

Wellness Bash

This is the first year adding a Wellness Bash to the Madison Dash 5K event.

The Wellness Bash will be located near the 5K Start/Finish line and be open from 7 a.m. through the awards ceremony.

The Wellness Bash will consist of education and community involvement booths that will inspire wellness for our Dash participants.

Madison School District is on the forefront for creating an environment that encourages positive health and wellness behaviors.

The Madison Dash 5K & Wellness Bash event strives to promote physical, social, and emotional health for Madison students, staff and community.

Madison is passionate about what it does for students, and invites the community to join it in making an investment in the larger Madison community by helping to enhance the lives of district students.

All proceeds from the Madison Dash & Wellness Bash will support wellness initiatives in Madison School District.
