Description
Fun Run Course Updated for 2025!!!
See race maps below.
5K race and fun run benefiting students with special learning needs. This race is put on by the Knights of Columbus Council 10232 and Council 17519 of Madison. 100% of the proceeds goes to Madison City Schools. This is part of a nationwide campaign put on by the Knights of Columbus.
Since we support the whole of Madison City Schools, the race begins and ends at the Madison City Stadium next to the Madison City Schools admin building and runs through downtown Madison. A big shout out to the city of Madison for allowing this, and to the Madison Police Department for supporting the race. As always, our effort is to support Madison schools' intellectual disabilities programs. Know that by participating, you are contributing to your local community. We especially want to give a shout-out to those who have participated in the past and we hope that you will continue to support our race and the students of the Special Education Program of Madison City Schools. If you cannot participate, please do consider offering a donation. Every little bit helps!
"“When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice.” - St Pope Gregory the Great

See How Your Support Makes a Difference in Our Community!
On September 9th, 2022, members of the Knights of Columbus Council 10232 and 17519 visited the Discovery Middle School special ed classroom to meet the teachers and children, and to see how they have benefited from the funds generated by the Tootsie Roll 5k.
In 2021, funds raised from the race were given to the Discovery Middle School special education teachers for purchasing equipment for their classroom. They were also used to fund a coffee cart for the Panther Perks program. Special ed students use the cart to sell coffee to faculty and staff while learning communication skills, as well as counting money and making change.
