MADISON, Wis. — From 1848 to today, Badgers have found shared purpose in a principle called the Wisconsin Idea — an unwavering belief that our teaching, research, and public service should push beyond the boundaries of campus to improve the lives of all.
Wisconsin Athletics is proud to help Celebrate 175 years of the UW-Madison with the announcement of two events dedicated to the yearlong festivities.
On Sunday, April 7, the Badgers will host a Kids Fair at the Field House as a part of
UW's 175th Anniversary Community Open House. The event, which will run from 1-3 p.m., will feature interactive displays including inflatables, trophy displays, and an appearance from Bucky Badger as we celebrate Wisconsin Athletics' impact on the local community.

On Saturday, April 27, the Badgers will host the

Due to previously announced construction on the field at Camp Randall Stadium, this year's race will finish outside the Kohl Center, with a post-race party planned inside the building.
