Rumble on the Ridge is an intense Backyard Ultra-style race held on a scenic dairy farm in the Driftless Area, just west of Madison, WI. Participants face a challenging loop course, known as "The Drifty Mile," which varies each year with a distance of 1 to 1.25 miles and a minimum elevation gain of 250 feet. Runners have 20 minutes to complete each loop, with the course reversing direction every four hours to keep competitors on their toes. The race continues until only one runner remains, having completed all loops within the time limit. With strict rules prohibiting additional assistance on the course and a unique start signal, this event demands both physical endurance and mental adaptability. Only those who can consistently meet the challenges of the course and stay within the time constraints will have the chance to claim victory.
