9th Annual KofC Tootsie Roll 5K & Fun Run 2026

The KofC Tootsie Roll 5K & Fun Run is an annual Madison race featuring a USATF-certified 5K, a shorter fun run, and a sleep-in shirt option for those who wish to support the cause without participating in the run. It is organized by Knights of Columbus Council 10232 and Council 17519, with all proceeds benefiting Madison City Schools for students with special learning needs. The race begins and ends at Madison City Stadium, adjacent to the Madison City Schools administration building, and proceeds through downtown Madison. Its purpose aligns with the Knights of Columbus nationwide Tootsie Roll campaign, with a local focus on Madison schools' intellectual disabilities programs. The city permits the road event, and the Madison Police Department's support facilitates the downtown course.
