On Saturday, April 26, ET athletes and coaches made a journey to Madison, WI to participate in the 2008 Crazy Legs Classic 8K. They joined thousands of runners and walkers for making this another record-breaking year and outstanding event!
The venue for the race is on the University of Wisconsin campus. The race starts in downtown Madison on Capitol Square and winds through the UW campus. Maybe the word "climbs through the UW campus" describes this rather hilly course! Many runners enjoy the campus sites and especially the support from the UW students on fraternity row.
The Crazy Legs Classic finish is the 50 yard line of Camp Randall Stadium. Finishers are shown on the video board as they enter the stadium, allowing participants to watch themselves cross the line.
The post-race festival is a long time favorite of the hard-core runner and fun-seeker alike. Race participants are refueled with free fruit and bottled water, while complimentary beer and the UW Marching Band's legendary 5th Quarter performance provide that unique Wisconsin flavor.
After the post-race festivities, ET athletes and coaches enjoyed a fabulous dinner and a visit to the Student Union for some ice cream while taking in the sites on Lake Mendota.

Mark your calendars for next year's Crazy Legs Classic to take place on Saturday, April 25, 2009. Once again, it promises to be the event of 2009! Hope to see you there!
