Mile Madness Endurance Run

👋 HI MILE MADNESS FAMILY! 💙

Race weekend is 16 days away — and I wanted to pop in personally to give you a peek behind the curtain!

Being a Race Director isn't just about race day. It's about the hundreds of small details that come together to create your experience. It's my passion — building the right environment for you to shine.

Mile Madness is the PERFECT fully-supported test race for a fall goal like Rio Del Lago, Javelina, or CIM. It's also amazing for families, first-timers, and ultra veterans. You have an aid station always close, a place to rest if you need it, and some of the best food in the entire endurance space. Come run, come crew, or just come hang out — this is a celebration of the running community, and we want the WHOLE community to come out!

🎨 What We're Doing Behind the Scenes to Get Ready for YOU:

✅ Pressing your Mile Madness hoodies (they look INCREDIBLE!)
✅ Finalizing our menus (Pizza & Burgers locked in!) 🍕🍔
✅ Confirming volunteers for every aid station shift
✅ Finishing the Course Decoration Plan — magical day AND night!
✅ Coordinating with our incredible sponsors
✅ Course professionally measured at 0.75 miles ✔️
✅ Prepping the UltraLounge and Crew Village setup
✅ Received the Soundcore Nebula Pro Projector + 22-foot movie screen! 🎬
✅ Making sure every single detail is dialed in for YOU!

None of this happens alone. I'm so grateful for our sponsors, volunteers, runners, and the entire community that makes Mile Madness possible year after year. 💙

Here's my promise to you: we'll give you the best race weekend of your life. Whether it's your first 3-Hour or your 200-mile buckle attempt — we've got you.

🃏 BREAKING: THE JESTER IS COMING TO MILE MADNESS! 🃏

We are BEYOND excited to announce that the legendary Ed "The Jester" Ettinghausen will be joining us at Mile Madness 2026 — and he's not just coming to run. He's coming to BREAK WORLD RECORDS! 🌎🏆

Straight from The Jester himself:

"By completing at least 100+ miles at Mile Madness, I will be setting at least FOUR new World Records, including:

🏅 Most 100k+ race finishes — 334
🏅 Most 100+ mile race finishes — 314
🏅 Most race finishes over 100 miles — 187
