Miola Madness - Spring Into Daylight Savings

Miola Madness is a timed running event at Miola Lake in Paola, KS, held on a roughly 6ish mile crushed limestone loop. The event offers multiple timed formats and a newly added 10K distance. All races start and finish at the boat ramp trail head, which serves as the main Race Hub with restrooms, a nearby dog park, and a short drive to the beach. The Race Hub is also the primary place for crews to gather.

Distances and formats include:

  • 12-hour timed event
  • 9-hour timed event
  • 6-hour timed event
  • 3-hour timed event
  • 10K distance

The course has one primary, abundantly stocked aid station and one secondary fluid-only aid station. Hammer Nutrition will provide electrolyte drink, gels, and other performance fuel. Runners must stay on designated trails; pets must be leashed; littering is prohibited. Participants and crews are expected to be respectful of volunteers and park staff, and crews must use designated crew access aid stations.

This event is the first in a three-part Miola Madness Series. Those who complete the entire series receive an "I've Gone Mad" series sticker and a series finisher jacket. No refunds, transfers, or deferrals are available and the event will take place regardless of the weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
