The Skyline Scramble - Topeka, KS
The Skyline Scramble is a trail endurance event at Skyline Park in Topeka, KS, scheduled for March 6, 2027. The event is organized as repeated laps of a single 2.15 mile loop and includes individual timed races and a kids race.
Distances and formats:
- 12 hour individual
- 12 hour team relay (teams of three)
- 6 hour individual
- 3 hour individual
- 2 mile kids race for grades K–8
The course is a rugged 2.15 mile single loop over the wooded south summit of Skyline Park. The loop includes rocks, roots, boardwalks, and reaches the highest point on Burnett’s Mound, with about 250 feet of elevation gain per loop.
For the timed races participants complete as many full loops as possible within their chosen time window; winners are those who complete the most full loops. The 12 hour team relay uses one bib per team and requires each team member to complete at least one loop. Chip timing may or may not be used; runners should expect to notify race staff when they enter the timing or aid area.
The kids race runs one full 2.15 mile loop with two age divisions. Course monitors will be present and parents or guardians may run with their child. Parents must complete an in-person release at packet pickup to receive a child’s bib.
Registration closes in early March 2027. Early packet pickup is available at Fleet Feet in Topeka; race day packet pickup and check-in take place at Skyline Park. Parking is available via the access road with closer spaces for 12 hour runners and first come first served parking for other events.
