Bubble Run | Madison 2026

Bubble Run Madison is a non-competitive, untimed 5K held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Participants can run, walk, dance, or wander through foam, with the route featuring large bursts of colored bubbles. Children aged 4 and under participate for free, aligning with the event's family-friendly nature. The course guides participants through bubble bogs and foam clouds, creating an atmosphere more akin to a playful group outing than a typical road race. It attracts families, children, novice 5K runners, walkers, and individuals seeking a low-pressure fitness activity with a fun, messy conclusion. This Madison event is a recurring stop for Bubble RUN. Visitors to the Alliant Energy Center should be aware of potential delays on John Nolen Drive due to ongoing construction.
