Adam Nickel’s passion for running reached its peak in Madison.
And that passion will live on Saturday, when a team of Nickel’s friends and Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin co-workers participate in the Crazylegs Classic in memory of the 27-year-old Kaukauna native and University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy graduate student who died shortly after completing the Little Rock (Ark.) Marathon on March 2.
“A lot of us that worked at our Capitol Clinic pharmacy, we wanted to get together and just talk because (Nickel’s death) was a shock to us,” GHC-SCW employee and team captain Mark Wilberg said. “In that talk, we decided to do something in his memory. Adam loved running, and this is a way we can honor his memory.”
