Organiser's Description
The Mad Mallard 3, 6, 12 and 24 hour trail race......AT NIGHT
That's right we're going all night, all day, and into the night again this year!!!
Do you have a long race coming and need some night training? Do you need to test out some night gear? Or just want to test yourself!?
This is your race!
Runners will start at 7 p.m.- that's right, 7 p.m., right before sunset- and run a 3-ish mile trail loop along the Duck River and through the cane thickets, cedars groves, and hardwood forest of Henry Horton State Park for 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours. The loop is 3 miles, has roughly 144ft of climb, and is completely runnable, with the majority being single-track dirt trails.
Although the course will be marked with glow sticks and reflective markers, you should still bring a headlamp or a light source.
We will have one main aid station at the start/finish line stocked with snacks, cold water, sodas, watermelon and Tailwind hydration...open throughout the night.
We'll fire up the grill when coyotes start howlin and hollerin!
This will be a laid-back, grassroots event. Family, friends, and spectators are always welcome. Pop a tent and stay for a while!
Please no dogs on trail, but definitely welcome in camp as long as they are leashed and well behaved!
I've heard rumors that the Scal-a-wag Trail Running Club will be hanging around to pace, motivate, and help out through the evening! I'm sure you will see some familiar faces!
Each runner will receive a finisher medal and swag bag!
Awards will be given to the Female and Male runners who accumulate the most laps in the 3, 6, 12, and 24-hour races as well.
There will be a Mad Mallard Belt Buckle for anyone that can run 100miles inside the 24 hour time allowance.
There will also be $100 for anyone who can top Jack Lee's 104 miles in 24 hours!
We also plan to bring back the hidden ducks on course and add on a few extra!
This race is hosted by our non profit, The Sgt David Hierholzer Fallen Warrior Foundation. All proceeds and donations generated go to the purchase of backpacks, school supplies, and clothes for school children in the community.
Thank you for your interest in our race and for helping us keep a dream alive.
Never surrender, never go easy!
