CANCELED/VIRTUAL: Lake Monona Run/Walk

press release: Race Day Events has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and following recommendations from our presenting sponsor, SSM Health, as well as the City of Madison and Dane County Department of Public Health as they work with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to prevent the spread of this virus. The safety and well-being of our participants, staff, and volunteers is always of utmost importance and therefore we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Lake Monona 20K and 5K that was to be held on May 2, 2020.

As such, participants will be given the option to run the Virtual Lake Monona Event in addition to a 20% discount code on a 2021 registration. All codes will be sent when registration opens on May 11 and will be valid until May 24. By participating in the virtual event, you will be given the opportunity to safely run or walk the course at the time of your choosing from May 2nd - 10th. We want to remind participants to keep a safe distance from others runners and if you're not feeling well to please stay home. All registered participants will have their packets mailed to them at no additional cost. The packet will include your bib, shirt, and finisher medal. Please make sure that your shipping address is up to date in your RunSignUp profile.

** IF DID NOT RESPOND TO THE SELECTION EMAIL, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE PLACED IN THE VIRTUAL EVENT** THANK YOU!

The Lake Monona 20K Run and 5K Run/Walk presented by SSM Health, taking place on Saturday, May 2nd, 2020, offers a beautiful course with springtime temperatures ideal for running, and combines small-race feel with big-race perks.

For those with longer distance ambitions, this "almost" half marathon is a great way to peak your spring training, or to prepare for a spring marathon. For those interested in a shorter distance to tackle, there is also a 5K run/walk option.
