The Skyline Scramble - Topeka, KS

The Skyline Scramble is scheduled for March 6, 2027 at Skyline Park, 3511 SW Skyline Pkwy, Topeka, KS. The event uses a rugged 2.15 mile single loop through the wooded south summit of Skyline Park, with about 250 feet of elevation gain per loop and views that include the high point at Burnett’s Mound.

Race formats offered:

• 12 hour individual race
• 12 hour team relay for teams of three
• 6 hour individual race
• 3 hour individual race
• 2 mile kids race for grades K to 8

In the timed race formats participants repeatedly run the same loop within a fixed time window and aim to complete as many full loops as possible. Winners are determined by the most complete loops in the entrant’s selected time block. The 12 hour team relay uses one bib per team; each team member must complete at least one loop for the team to qualify.

The kids race covers one full 2.15 mile loop with two age divisions. Course monitors will be present and parents or guardians may run with their child; an in person waiver is required for minors.

Online registration closes March 4, 2027. Early packet pickup is available March 5 at Fleet Feet (2130 SW Wanamaker Rd). Race day packet pickup and check in take place at Skyline Park. Parking is available at the top of the access road; 12 hour crews have closer parking, while 3 and 6 hour participants park farther back.

Key rules include possible chip timing, no non competitors on course, trekking poles optional, strict no littering policy, and a minimum age of 14 for the main events. A designated area at the start/finish will hold personal aid and limited canopy space. All finishers receive a finisher award and event shirt; top finishers in each time block and top relay teams receive awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
