MADISON, Wis. -- The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Crazylegs Classic could go global.

Crazylegs is set for next April 24 in Madison. The university's athletic department, the National W Club and the Wisconsin Alumni Association are trying to set up simultaneous Crazylegs runs anywhere else in the world that might have interest.

Terry Murawski is the executive director of the National W Club, an organization for UW-Madison athletic letter winners. He said participants would pay a registration fee and receive an official T-shirt and race-bib, just as they would in Madison. The money would go to UW-Madison athletics.

The groups decided to launch the effort after soldiers in Iraq with ties to Madison and a North Carolina group ran their own Crazylegs races this past spring.
