Capital City 5K Logo

A unique summer evening 5K road race along Madison's lakefront promoting organ, tissue and eye donation and Wisconsin’s online Donor Registry. 
YesIWillWisconsin.com.

In 2011, the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin, in partnership with Donate Life Wisconsin, presented the Capital City 5K Run/Walk for Organ, Tissue and Eye Donation in Madison as a continuation of the legacy of live that was fostered at the 2010 NKF U.S. Transplant Games®.

In an effort to increase the number of registrants on the Wisconsin Donor Registry, the Capital City 5K brings attention to the almost 2,000 children and adults in Wisconsin who are waiting for a transplant.

The 2012 Capital City 5K will be held on Saturday, July 28.

The 5K is a twilight road race that starts in the evening at the Capitol Square and ends with a fun, family-friendly private pool party and Awards Ceremony at Goodman Pool.

Please join the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin at the Capital City 5K in 2012 to celebrate and honor donors and their families, and to offer hope to those still waiting for a life-saving or life-enhancing transplant.
