Description

Medved Madness is our annual spring trail running party!

The Madness will consist of two separate races.

  1. The Long Course will be roughly 13 miles. There is a early start option for the Long Course. If you'd expect a trail half marathon to take you more than three hours please sign up for the early start.
  2. The Short Course will be roughly five miles. There will not be an early start option for the Short Course.

The races are estimated distances and the course will be set on race day. The course is different each year because of varying trail conditions. Here are the course maps from last year:

There will be one basic aid station for Long Course event. You must carry your hydration and nutrition needs with you.

THE BARBECUE IS BACK!

After the race, stick around for our post race BBQ.  Please bring your lawn chair or blanket and enjoy.

Packet Pickup: Saturday, May 4th at Medved Running and Walking Outfitters from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. We will have packet pickup on the morning of the race but WE WILL BE VERY SHORT-STAFFED ON RACE DAY. PLEASE PICK UP YOUR RACE PACKET ON SATURDAY IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
