Moscow Mountain Madness

Moscow Mountain Madness is a challenging trail running event held in Moscow, Idaho, featuring three distances: 5 miles, a half marathon (13.1 miles), and a 50k ultramarathon. The courses primarily traverse technical single-track trails along the scenic spine of Moscow Mountain, with some fast logging roads, offering rugged terrain and stunning views of the Palouse region. The 50k route showcases extensive forest single-track with significant climbs and aid stations, requiring runners to navigate using GPS files due to natural course marker disruptions.

The event emphasizes a tough but beautiful running experience, with no dogs or headphones allowed, and includes awards for top finishers in multiple categories. Volunteers play a key role in race operations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
