Meyerhoff's Mayhem
Meyerhoff's Mayhem is an endurance running event held at Big Woods Campground in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The format consists of repeated legs of 4 miles every 4 hours over a 48 hour period, with an optional 2 mile add on after the final leg. The event includes both individual entries and a team relay option for teams of 2 to 4 people; teams may divide the legs as they choose. Ruck participants may use a weight of their choice.
Food and water are provided at each leg. A sample menu includes items such as veggie broth, energy balls, GU, donuts, bagels, fruit, chicken noodle soup, peanut butter sandwiches, chips, sloppy joes and pasta salad, though the menu may change as details are finalized. Race sweatshirts are listed for participants and t shirts for volunteers. Medals are planned for finishers.
The route starts from the tent area and uses some paved trails and the disc golf course to offer varied terrain. Personal lights are required for running in the dark. Pets are not allowed for the runs. The event is dedicated to the memory of a person who loved running and pushing limits. Halloween costumes are encouraged.
