THE EVENTS

  • 40-mile ultra

    Challenging 4-loop course keeps you moving to beat the 12-hr cutoff, switching direction every Mad13-miles.

  • Marathon (26-miles)

    Similar to the ultra, same trail, a little more speed, and a little less distance. Just 3 loops, in the same direction (at least you should be), racing to beat an 8-hr cutoff.

  • Half Marathon (13-miles)

    3-loop course, creates a speedy trail race for racers. This is a great option for those who are newer to trail runners, want some time on their feet, and create a little bit of speed. No cutoff.

  • Not so simple 10K

    Great distance for the new trail runner, just a taste, but enough of a challenge. Great distance for the youngest and the wisest, families and friends. No cutoff.

  • 5K

    Choose to shake it out, or try your hand at a little speed, you choose. The 5K is great for all ages, and a great option for everyone.
