50k Details
The Moscow Mountain Madness 50k is back in-person in 2024 after positive feedback and demand! The route will majority on forest single-track will provide an epic tour of our hidden gem in the Palouse. 50k participants will enjoy scenic views, classic single-track, and challenging climbs with frequent aid station stops and support. Explore the route below to see vast trails exploring all that Moscow Mountain has to offer, while rarely repeating. While the course will be fully flagged, we know animals, people, and nature tend to move or consume markers - thus, Racers will be expected to downloaded and be able to access a course GPX throughout their race as added safety.

Please plan your race and training to complete the 50k under the 10 hour cut-off. This is a 18.66 min/mile average pace. We will have aid station cut-offs to help ensure runners stay on pace for a successful race, and allow our volunteers to sweep and take down the course before the end of the day.
