36th Annual
Syttende Mai Run
May 17, 2008

The Syttende Mai run is a 20-mile race from Madison to Stoughton, and the walk is a non-competitive 17-mile walk. The same route is used by both runners and walkers, and is on rolling blacktopped roads. The walk follows in the tradition of Europe's popular "volks marches." (See map on previous page)
