WHY MILE MADNESS?

INCLUSIVITY FOR ALL: From ages 10 to 82, with a balanced mix of 52.8% male and 47.2% female participants. In 2024, we welcomed 115 runners with a remarkable 72% buckle completion rate (applies to 48- and 72-hour runners); 2025 saw 140 strong, and we're projecting 200-250 for 2026. Beginners who've never run an ultramarathon often surprise themselves with distances they never imagined.

TOP-NOTCH SUPPORT: Fully stocked aid station featuring a rotating menu of hearty meals, electrolytes, all the typical aid station food, and endless encouragement from what might be the best volunteers in trail running. Other amenities include on-site massage therapists, family cheer zones, glow run, food trucks, and more...

Plus, a 100% rollover policy up to 24 hours before race start means zero risk if life throws a curveball.

SWAG: Every registered runner will get a race shirt or jacket. Our current plan is to provide gender specific packable puffy jackets. We cannot guarantee sizes for registrations after 9/1/26, but we will do our best to accommodate requests. All runners will also get other SWAG that will be announced closer to race weekend.
