The Skyline Scramble, Topeka KS
The Skyline Scramble is an endurance trail event held in Skyline Park in Topeka, KS. Runners repeatedly complete a rugged 2.15 mile single loop through the wooded south summit of the park. Each loop includes about 250 feet of elevation gain and passes the highest point on Burnett’s Mound. The loop surface includes rocks, roots, and boardwalks.
Race formats offered:
- 3 hour individual event
- 6 hour individual event
- 12 hour individual event
- 12 hour team relay for teams of three

The 3, 6, and 12 hour formats ask participants to complete as many full loops as possible within their chosen time window. The 12 hour team relay is for three-person teams sharing one bib; all three team members must complete at least one loop or the team is disqualified. The kids race has two age divisions and consists of one full 2.15 mile loop.
