A half-marathon relay (with transportation to & from the hand-off), a 5K, 1-Mile and Combo Race (5K & 1-mile) round out the race line-up, ensuring everyone can participate and contribute to the cause of Cancer Care and Research right here, close to home.

This running event will push you and 11 pals, day and night, through 200 miles of stunning scenery in the upper Midwest. Starting in Madison, your team will head southeast toward the southern tip of Lake Michigan. The race (and your stamina) will wrap up in the \"Windy City\" – Chicago, Illinois. Mark your running calendars; this race is one you won’t want to miss.
