What is the Quad Challenge?
Any runner who completes four of the five Badger Mountain races (15K, 55K, 50M, 100K & 100M) will receive a special award - currently a custom embroidered running jacket.The 100-mile MUST be completed in order to claim your jacket.
You can finish 4 distances in any order, any year.
You MUST notify the Race Director if you are close to completing the Quad Challenge. You should notify us more than two months before your 4th race. If you do we will have your jacket waiting for you at the finish line. If you tell us less than two months before (or after the race), you may have to wait a few months to get your jacket (they are custom made and finding time to get them ordered and embroidered is at a premium).
Your participation in the quad challenge is not tracked until you make it known that you are interested. In other words, we don't know that you plan on completing the Quad unless you tell us.
The ruck division races count the same as the regular races towards completing the quad.

Races must be completed on the day they're offered. We will no longer allow entrants to run events on days that they aren't offered - it causes too many headaches for our timers and also the Director.
As of 2024 we've had 44 quad finishers! (20 females & 24 males).
In 2017 Brendan Thompson became the FIRST finisher of the Quad Challenge. Brendan's times were:
50k; 4:14:52 in 2012
15k; 55:29 in 2015

100-miler; 19:28:51 in 2017
Total = 33hours, 25minutes
