….Jeff Graves, spokesman for Saturday?s Madison Mini-Marathon, said race officials alerted the more than 4,500 participants about the construction via email, but aren?t ?overly concerned.?
About 85 percent of the participants are from the Madison area, but there are ?definitely people who are not familiar with the Madison streets,? Graves said. The race route is not affected by the construction, but after starting on the UW-Madison campus it directs runners to the Capitol and down State Street.
