Miola Madness Hot Summer Nights Paola, KS   Jun 12, 2025

Midwest Endurance brings you Miola Madness, a no frills, just fun timed running event! Join us on this 6ish mile crushed limestone loop around beautiful Miola Lake. Come see how far you can run in 3 hours, 6 hours, 9 hours or 12 hours. What a great way to challenge yourself, use this as a supported long run for upcoming fall race, or just an excuse to run with friends. The course will have one primary, abundantly stocked aid station and a secondary fluid-only aid station. Hammer Nutrition will be providing electrolyte drink, gels, and other performance fuel.

This is the second event in our 3-part Miola Madness Series!

Start/ Finish
All races will start and finish at the boat ramp trail head. This will also serve as the main Race Hub. The cowbells will be ringing and people cheering on runners! The Race Hub is a great place for crews to hang out. There are restrooms located in this area as well as a dog park and a short drive to the beach.

Start Times
12 hour, 9 hour, 6 hour and 3 hour will all start at 7pm. However, if the 9 hour, 6 hour, or 3 hour would like to start later in the night, you are welcome to get in your distance anytime in the 12 hour window as long as you finish by 7am.

Race Rules
It’s pretty simple…run as much or little in your designated time! Do you have to run the entire 12, 9, 6, 3 hours? No, its all up to you! This is a great format to challenge your self or run a designated distance as a training run in a supported race environment.
