Midnight Rat Race - Unsanctioned
The MIDNIGHT Rat Race - UNSANCTIONED is a challenging 13-mile urban race held in Springfield, Missouri, on October 24, 2025. Starting at midnight, participants navigate from point A to point B without course markings, volunteers, or directions, relying solely on their own strategy and endurance. The course covers sidewalks, roads, alleys, and grass, with a 3 hour and 15-minute time limit.
Runners must use GPS tracking, visit a gas station to eat on video, and take a selfie at Downtown Springfield Square. The event emphasizes self-reliance and resilience, offering unique rewards like a custom medal with literal trash attached and a taxidermied rat for winners.
