Welcome to XSNRG Running Club
What is the Mad Dog Scramble?
Welcome to the Mad Dog Scramble hosted by the XSNRG Running Club!
In this race, the runners will be sent off in waves, and each wave will have progressively faster runners in them. That means that the fastest runners have to wait for up to 20 minutes, and run a bit farther. But it is the first person across the finish line who wins. And as always, prizes will be given out to the first, second and fourth male and female finishers. Third place gets mentioned, but sorry, no prize. That doesn't mean you still can't win a prize as there will be the usual array of draw prizes for anyone to win.
Also, as in past years, there will be a Puppy Scramble for children 6 years of age and under. It is free. It takes a few minutes and is held 10 minutes prior to race start.

2014 Announcements & Results
Another Mad Dog has been run and I know that even a week later, there are some tired runners out there; but all with smiles on their faces.
Half of you ran the Mad Dog Scramble for the first time this year. The positive comments make all of us who volunteer want to come back and do it all again for you next year. There were friends running together, families running together and many running their very first race. Not just the Mad Dog, but any race. I am always astounded that someone would pick the Mad Dog Scramble as their very first race, but they enjoy it!
The race seemed to be even tougher than in past years according to some long-time racers. The race was a little longer than we planned. We will be sure to make it a bit shorter, but no less difficult next year. I certainly hope that everyone was satisfied that we provided full value for them. It is meant to be a challenge and an enjoyable community event. You, along with the volunteers, make the race what it is. Please go to www.mynextrace.com and input your comments on the Banana Rating. We will continue to strive to put on a race that is the best value for your running dollar, and provide you with the most enjoyment you can have (while suffering up one of the hills or wading through some mud).
We had a lot of people help out with our effort and the volunteers and contributors are listed below. The fact that this is such a special family event is demonstrated by the many younger runners who ran. Some were under 10 years of age. Some have been running the race for years and continue to come out, even those older than 60. Congratulations to all of you!
