Maple Madness: Mud, Sweat & Syrup

Love trail races? Love maple syrup? You’re in the right place.
Maple Madness is NEPA trail race with real fun, a ton of mud, and enough maple syrup to keep things interesting. The trails are legit, the vibe is relaxed, and the goal is simple: get a little messy, work hard, and have a great time doing it.

Choose the 5k or 10k distance, both starting and finishing at the Dewy Meadows Maple Farm sap house (or “sugar shack”, depending on where you were born). All courses will have a mix of short dirt road sections, grueling climbs, single track, field crossings, logging roads, and whatever else we decide to throw at you. It is sure to be a challenging and super fun course, no matter which distance you choose.

Pancakes, syrup, sausage, coffee and more will be provided for finishers. There will be a lot of refreshments and treats at the finish, but runners are self-supported as far as anything you need on course. There is no aid station on course, so you must carry in/carry out any hydration and fueling needs.

Bonfire and sap house tours after you finish, and with luck, the weather will cooperate and allow for a sap boiling day as well! Dewy Meadows Maple Farm will have maple syrup and products available for sale, so don’t forget some extra cash to take home some awesome fresh, local, products and help support the farm!
