The MC200 story

The Madison-Chicago 200 will take you on a scenic tour of the Madison-Milwaukee-Chicago corridor. The 200-mile course is divided into 36 Legs that teams of up to 12 members will navigate over a two day period. Runners will pass through such sights as Madison's Monona Terrace, the rolling Glacial-Drumlin Trail, and the scenic parkways of Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties. The race continues through the night, and some will run a lap around the Milwaukee Mile, the oldest operating auto racing track in the United States. There will be amenities at certain designated Transfer Areas, such as food and showers, and a place to take a nap. By Saturday morning, teams will be head through Racine and Kenosha, which include some beautiful lakefront views, and into Illinois via the Robert McClory and Green Bay bike trails. After navigating through the streets of Evanston and Northwestern University Stadium, runners will finish the course on Chicago's fabled Lakefront Running Path, at Montrose Harbor, with beautiful views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago Skyline.
