Madison

Madison sits between two lakes—Mendota and Monona—making it one of the flattest running cities in the Midwest, with the Isthmus loop and State Street offering predictable terrain for building mileage. Cyclists dominate here: the Badfish Creek 20K/40K State Time Trial Championship draws serious racers to rolling courses, and ¡Pick Me Up at the Border! sends gravel and road cyclists 125km into Wisconsin's southwestern hills for proper climbing. The Madison Gospel 5K and local parkruns fill the weekly running calendar on this nearly sea-level landscape.
