One runner was absent from Madison’s 27th Annual Crazylegs Classic.
Last month, NBC 15 reported on the sudden death of Adam Nickel. The U-W Madison graduate student and avid runner died after crossing the finish line at the Little Rock marathon in Arkansas.
Saturday, one group of runners and walkers, with bright yellow shirts, decided to go the distance to honor and remember their late friend and co-worker.
“We have 89 people which were more than we expected. We were hoping for about 50, so that just goes to show the type of person Adam was,” said Mark Wilberg.
