The 6th annual Madison Gospel 5K, 10K Run/Walk & Health Fair will take place at Saturday, July 13, 8 a.m. at Penn Park.
Uchenna Jones founded The Madison Gospel 5K Foundation in February of 2019 as a charitable organization focused on the health and wellness of families of color. Every summer, her organization have been hosting a Madison Gospel 5K Run/Walk that just keeps getting bigger and better.
“We first started six years ago with a 5k and then over time, the participants were like, ‘Oh, can we have a 10k?’ They have grown and they wanted more of a challenge,” Jones tells Madison365. “So that’s what we’ve done. We’ve listened to the feedback, and then we added a 10k.”
