Midnight Madness Run

The 36th Annual Midnight Madness Run takes place at Kiwanis Park Soccer Field Cross Country Course in Tempe, Arizona. This unique event features two 5K races: the final run of 2025 on December 31st and the first run of 2026 shortly after midnight, allowing participants to celebrate the New Year with a sparkling cider toast. The course offers a cross-country style experience, and the event includes chip timing with real-time results, age group awards, and pre- and post-race snacks.

Participants can register for individual races, both runs as a "Double Down," or a virtual option with medals and apparel shipped after the event. The run is pet-friendly and embraces a festive, community atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
