Running 65 Miles to Raise Funds for the Alzheimer’s Association
$12,000 In
Donations Raised
Every 65 seconds someone in the United States is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Our mission is to promote healthy lifestyles to combat the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. With physical activity playing a crucial role, running and walking are the simplest forms.
65 in 24 is when a few crazy people get together to run laps around the Wisconsin State Capitol Square until they reach 65 miles, hopefully in less than 24 hours. This distance usually ends up being roughly 120 laps, starting at midnight of December 29th and ending at midnight of December 30th. This provides more than enough time for any runner to complete the 65 miles, or any distance they feel comfortable accomplishing in 24 hours.
What is 65 in 24?!?!
The 65 in 24 run takes place every December 30th, and has reached its donation goal every year. This is due to the growing awareness of the run and community involvement.
