Website

The MIDNIGHT Rat Race - UNSANCTIONED is a challenging 13-mile urban night race held in Springfield, Missouri. Starting at midnight on October 24, 2025, participants navigate from point A to point B without course markings, volunteers, or directions, relying solely on their GPS watch and wits. The course covers sidewalks, roads, alleys, and grass, demanding strategy and resilience.

Runners must cover at least 12 miles, stop at a gas station to eat on video, and take a selfie at Downtown Springfield Square. Safety gear like headlamps and reflective items are required. The event is unsanctioned and designed for experienced runners seeking a unique endurance test. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
