McKay Hollow Madness

Huntsville, United States • 22 Mar 2025

McKay Hollow Madness is an annual trail running event held in Huntsville, Alabama, featuring two challenging distances: a 25K (approximately 15.5 miles) and a 12K (around 7 miles). Participants navigate through the scenic and technical trails of Monte Sano, including notable sections like Sinks Trail and the infamous "Death Trail." The race emphasizes self-sufficiency, as it is a cupless event requiring runners to carry their own hydration. Aid stations are strategically placed along the course, and medical assistance is available. The event promises a thrilling experience, especially in muddy conditions, and concludes with refreshments at the finish line. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
