**New this year! All finishers will receive a small souvenir glass bottle of maple syrup to bring home, and maple syrup shots will be available on both courses!
Additionally this year, hooded sweatshirts and t-shirts will be available as an optional add-on rather than included with registration. Not everyone wants race gear, and this approach lets you choose what you actually want. This change helps us offset rising costs while investing more into the post-race experience we all love without raising registration fees.
Love trail races? Love maple syrup? You’re in the right place.
Maple Madness is NEPA trail race with real fun, a ton of mud, and enough maple syrup to keep things interesting. The trails are legit, the vibe is relaxed, and the goal is simple: get a little messy, work hard, and have a great time doing it.
Choose the 5k or 10k distance, both starting and finishing at the Dewy Meadows Maple Farm sap house (or "sugar shack", depending on where you were born). All courses will have a mix of short dirt road sections, grueling climbs, single track, field crossings, logging roads, and whatever else we decide to throw at you. It is sure to be a challenging and super fun course, no matter which distance you choose.
Pancakes, syrup, sausage, coffee and more will be provided for finishers. There will be a lot of refreshments and treats at the finish, but runners are self-supported as far as anything you need on course. There is no aid station on course, so you must carry in/carry out any hydration and fueling needs.
Bonfire and sap house tours after you finish, and with luck, the weather will cooperate and allow for a sap boiling day as well! Dewy Meadows Maple Farm will have maple syrup and products available for sale, so don't forget some extra cash to take home some awesome fresh, local, products and help support the farm!
All overall winners will have their named permanently marked on the legendary Cow Skull. Course records will receive an additional premium.
Packet pick up will start at 7am on race day near the start. Watch for emails for updates.
Come for the challenging trails - stay for the bonfire, pancakes, and syrup. See you at the Sugar Shack!
