The current Mad City course records:

There's still time to register for the 2011 Mad City 100K races, both the 100-kilometer US national championship and the non-championship (but competitive) 50-kilometer race. Registration and race information are available through the race website, http://www.madcity100k.com
Due to the timing of the 2012 World Championship 100K race, there may not be a US national championship in 2012. Now is the time to race.
Think about it and help spread the word.
