Event overview
McClellan Madness is a trail running event held at the McClellan Bike Trails, 460 Brigadier D H Stem, Anniston, AL. The event marks its five year anniversary in 2026. Two timed events are offered:
- 4-hour event: complete four loops for 25k
- 8-hour event: complete eight loops for 50k
One female and one male who cover the greatest distance in each event will receive awards. Each entrant receives a soft t-shirt if registered by February 3; entries after that date may not receive a shirt. There are no refunds or deferrals, but transfers of entries to another runner can be arranged.
Course and support
The course is a single-track loop of 4.1 miles with roughly 300 feet of elevation gain per loop. The 2026 course will run counterclockwise, a change from the usual clockwise direction. The race starts and finishes at the McClellan bike trailhead.
Support includes a self-serve aid station at the start/finish with snacks and vegan options, and staffed service of water, Coke, Ginger Ale and Tailwind. Participants may set up their own aid at the start/finish, at a parked car, on the grass, or at the outdoor amphitheater. This is a cupless event. Packet pickup is available on race day only.
