We welcome participants of all backgrounds, identities and abilities, and we are committed to creating an event where every runner, walker or wheeler feels respected, valued and safe. We believe the start line, finish line, and every step or roll along the way should be a place of encouragement and belonging.

While USA Track & Field policies establish eligibility requirements for certain sanctioned championship and record-eligible competition, including medical benchmark requirements for some transgender athletes, Run Madtown’s events are designed to be inclusive community races. Participants are encouraged to register and compete as the gender with which they identify. We also have a nonbinary category and the option not to state gender at all.
