Do the MadMiddDoubleHalf or MadMiddHalfFull!

New for 2013! Two of Vermont’s most scenic races are located just miles from one another on either side of the Green Mountains--the Middlebury Maple Run and the Mad Marathon and Mad Half (July 7, 2013 in Waitsfield, Vermont)

There’s no need to choose between the races—run both! Either as an individual or a two-person relay team. They're called the MadMiddDoubleHalf (run both half marathons) or the MadMiddHalfFull (run the half in Middlebury and the full in Waitsfield). Run both races and your finishing times will be added together. Individuals and teams in seven categories with the lowest total “gun” time will be eligible for great ski- and golf-related prizes.

Just check the box on either race’s application to indicate you intend to run both events. You’ll need to register separately for each race. Relay teams MUST have the same runners for both races.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

MadMiddDoubleHalf (both half marathons)

• Individual male
• Individual female
• Relay male
• Relay female
• Relay mixed

MadMiddHalfFull (Middlebury half; Waitsfield full)

• Individual male
• Individual female

As in past years, race proceeds will benefit several of Addison County's non-profit organizations.
