For 2009 the Mad City 100K will feature two events... Event Description 50K Solo The 2009 Mad City 100K will be 50 kilometers in length and not the 100 kilometers distance (Please see our FUQ’s page for further information). So, for this year only the Mad City 100K is a five lap tour of our picturesque course... 50 kilometers in length. Are you up to the challenge? Come on out and join us for our third annual celebration of ultra running! 50K Relay Whether you have four running friends or just one you'll want to join us for the third running of our Mad City Relay. Teams consist of any combination of 2 to 5 runners for a five lap tour sharing the course with our solo participants... 50 kilometers in total length. Each team member must be able to cover at least one 10 Km lap. Team members may run multiple laps in any order as determined by team captain. If the thought of 50K solo is too intimidating why not get your friends together and join in our team relay! Click for 2009 Race Registration and to see "Who's Registered"! Race start time is 8:00 a.m. Packet pickup will be at Vilas Park beginning at 6:30 a.m. The start / finish / relay exchange area is on the northeastern banks of Lake Wingra located near Henry Vilas Zoo. There is ample parking and a park house shelter with toilets near our start / finish / relay exchange area. Race Director Timo regrets to announce that the 2009 Mad City 100K will not be the US championship 100K road race. Here's why: The 2009 World Cup 100K will be run in Belgium on June 19. Running our US national championship race less than three months before the World Cup would not give USATF and our American runners sufficient time for team selection and preparation. Historically, we have allowed at least three months for these purposes. Because of our Wisconsin weather, we can't in good conscience move the date of the Mad City 100K into early March, February, or January. Happily, we already know when and where the 2010 World Cup 100K will be run: November 6, 2010 in Gibraltar. That will allow the Mad City 100K to be the US national championship again that year - exact date to be announced. Without hosting the 2009 US national championship, we cannot realistically hope to raise prize money for the 2009 Mad City 100K, so that will be a temporary change in our race. On the other hand, we will continue our tradition of excellent awards and a first-class event. Concurrent with our solo ultra race is "The Race for the Ages" - Mad City 50K Relay. Teams consist of any combination of 2 to 5 runners and will be scored based upon their combined age. For more information, click on our Relay button (left-hand column). Doug Erickson and John Selbo will serve as race coordinators of the relay and assist if you are looking to form a team or  are looking to join a team.
