From the Organizer
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming 8th Annual Madison Gospel 5K, 10K Run/Walk & Health Fair. This event is a wonderful opportunity for individuals and their families to come together, get active, and participate in a community-wide celebration of health and wellness. We would also like to recognize Ainsley’s Angels for their support and partnership. We wear pink to honor those who roll and the angels who push them.
This event is about keeping the faith, keeping the fellowship, keeping the family, and keeping the fitness.
We warmly invite everyone to join us—whether you’re running, walking, rolling, or simply supporting your friends and loved ones. Let’s make this a memorable day by moving our bodies, sharing in positive energy, and encouraging one another in the spirit of community and well-being.
Behold, I (We) will do a new thing. Isaiah 43:19 KJV

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
