Made to Move

media release: Made to Move is back — and bigger and better than ever — for year two! We’ve expanded our distances and created a weekend full of fun. But what hasn’t changed is the heart of this race and our commitment to creating an experience women deserve.

Made to Move 2022 takes place on Saturday, June 11 in the beautiful UW Arboretum in Madison, Wisconsin. We are also offering virtual race options for women who are unable to join us in Madison this summer. We invite you to explore our distances and details and make this race your own!

We have a fun-filled weekend ready for our in-person runners!

If you want to experience the full weekend of events, we recommend arriving in Madison on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning and staying through Sunday.

10K: Call it a sweet spot, the perfect distance or, simply, the queen who deserves her own race. If you’re ready for more than a 5K but don’t yet want to commit to a half marathon, the 10K is calling your name. Find out why it’s our signature distance!  

5K: Great for runners, walkers and women with strollers, our 5K course offers great views throughout some of Madison’s most charming neighborhoods. If you’re beginning your running journey, looking to challenge yourself, excited to bring your littles in the stroller or race with friends, or if this is simply your favorite distance, we’re here for it!  

Half Marathon: You asked for it and we heard you ... 2022 brings the inaugural Made to Move Half Marathon! You will get to run two loops on the beautiful UW Arboretum course, which of course means getting to run through our amazing cheer zone at the start, midway and finish! If 13.1 is YOUR race, you won’t want to miss this one.  

2 Person Relay: Everything's better together! Grab your best running pal and sign up for this new event. Each of you will get to run one loop of the Half Marathon course through the beautiful UW Arboretum. Our transition zone is in the heart of it all at our start/finish area so you won't miss any of the fun!  

Virtual: We never forget that this community stretches across all 50 states and a few countries. So, we are pleased to offer a virtual option open to any woman no matter where she might find herself on race day. It makes a difference when you are connected to the energy source and we are here for any woman who shows up ready to run, connect and be part of race day regardless of geography. No need to decide your distance today — your race, your pace, your distance, one price!  

Virtual Superstar: Are you looking to stay motivated and challenge yourself this summer? The Virtual Superstar is for you! All three race medals and bibs for the price of two. Run your races on your time and let us see those sweaty selfie smiles so we can cheer you on!
