Madison, WI
The course starts and finishes at a dog park and biergarten, so expect four-legged company at the start line. It is a walk and run event, and the crowd skews toward people who brought their dogs along for the morning rather than people chasing a personal best.
Packet pickup and same-day registration happen in the hour before the start. Afterward, the venue hosts a celebration party on site, so there is no reason to rush off once you finish.
