It takes a village. Especially with a race like this. I need people at the start/finish, to manage an aid station, and days before to help clear and mark trails. The route is new every year, so I also rely on course marshals to move our athletes through the course. I want to thank so many volunteers for their help in pulling it all off.
The race will start/finish at Archie Baker Mini Park. Please be aware that there is construction on the left side of the park. We will set up on the right side, fronting Round Top Drive. There is no course map. The course changes every year and is a secret. Enjoy the adventure and listen to your course marshals. Read on for check-in times and other details.
We are less than two weeks out from Mango Madness trail race. If you haven’t signed up already, please read on.

What a morning! A hard, hilly course was dished out and our racers were up for the challenge! Most were smiling as we were wondering, "Did we make it hard enough?" In all seriousness, the participants were amazing! The volunteers were the BEST around. Motivating runners, helping them throughout the course, and guiding them in…
