MILE MADNESS ENDURANCE RUN
Every Runner Matters. Every Mile Counts.
Welcome to the Madness
After an unforgettable 2024—where 35 runners earned their 100-mile buckles—Mile Madness returns for 2025! Whether you’re tackling your first ultra or setting a personal milestone in 72 hours, this is your race. My favorite part of being a Race Director is seeing the perseverance, joy, and camaraderie that make this event special.
Come for the challenge, stay for the community, and let us support your every step.
