Trees along the course will display their fall foliage as the leaf colors begin to transition. Runners can enjoy the beautiful Madison skyline throughout the course and, around mile 6, will run under the Frank Lloyd Wright Monona Terrace Convention Center.   

The 5K course follows paved roads through the lovely neighborhoods surrounding Winnequah Park.
