The Crazylegs Classic has become a rite of spring in the Madison area that belongs with the blooming of tulips and daffodils in our yards and algae in our lakes, the Mifflin Street block party just off campus and road construction everywhere else.
“The event has grown in reputation and stature,” said Jim Bradley, the race director of the Classic, which will be held for the 25th time Saturday. “At this point it’s just one of those things you do in the spring in our community.” The Classic can thank Bradley and some others for that.
