17th Annual Medved Madness Trail Races

Summary

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.
