the crazylegs classic 2 mile walk quickly becoming one of madison's favorite events

2012 Walkers- The 2 MILE WALK will also start at 10:00 AM at the corner of State Street / Mifflin Street with staging down along Mifflin Street and Wisconsin Avenue and features a “wave start” of its own.  This improvement helps everyone get the most out of the walk route, get them to the stadium earlier (for refreshments and festivities) and allows them to meet up sooner with other friends and family who may be participating in the run.  Walkers will self-lineup in one of three sections depending on their desired walk pace: Speed Walkers, Casual Walkers, or Walkers with “Accessories”. The last category will include all participants with wagons, strollers, baby joggers and the like. Walkers will have their own music entertainment and sweat truck service for dropping off clothing prior to the 10:00 start. In an effort to alleviate gridlock while entering Camp Randall Stadium, the Casual Walkers will be divided into three sections, leaving approximately 5 minutes apart at the Start.

Walk & Stroll Stroller/Babyjogger Parking Crazylegs service to walkers with strollers/babyjoggers As a service to Crazylegs participants, we will have a stroller/babyjogger check and park area located just outside the entrance to Camp Randall Stadium at Gate 1. No strollers or babyjoggers will be allowed in the stadium. All strollers/babyjoggers will be checked in and watched at all times by Crazylegs staff so you may take part in the post-race festivities without worrying about accidents and injuries. Strollers/babyjoggers can be picked up as you exit the stadium.

A "Walker's Paradise" Madison, Wisconsin

Madison is a walker's paradise. It's full of both satisfying urban routes (like the one below) and green spaces to explore on foot. While you're in town for the Crazylegs-or to help get ready for the race-try one of the walks below, adapted from the 18 walks around Mad City in Madison Walks (Jones Books, 2003). Both start near the downtown area and should take you between 40 minutes to an hour (depending how often you stop). Or head for one of Madison's open spaces, like the Arboretum or the Campus Natural Area.
