Mountain Madness 50K

The Mountain Madness 50K course begins inside Shepherd Lake Recreation Area Parking lot. The course will be marked along blazed trail ways using survey tape to direct you on the correct path. Water/aid points on course. There is approximately 5000′ of elevation gain over the entire 50km.

Walkers WILL NOT finish the 50K course in under the time limit of 9 hours. Walkers are welcome to compete in the friendlier 7 Mile fun run or the 25 km course.

This course will be challenging but not impossible. The entire course will be well marked on currently blazed paths through out Ringwood State Park. There are rocks on almost every part of the entire course. Some parts are big rocks while some parts are almost crushed gravel. There are parts that are soft dirt or paved roads. The course is not easy but on single track paths that are constantly changing elevation up and down.

The park has toilets, covered pavilion, picnic tables, and kids’ playground, plenty of parking… Bring lawn chairs or blankets to relax after you’re done running! This event happens rain or shine –be prepared for anything!

Registration includes parking pass, 50K finishers medal and food for survivors.
