Driftless Distance Night

Saturday, October 24, 2026Oregon, WI1 Miles – 10K

Driftless Distance Night returns in 2026, trading traditional road courses for the high-octane atmosphere of the Madison International Speedway. This unique event transforms a legendary motorsports venue into a vibrant distance running showcase under the stadium lights. Runners will navigate the speedway oval, creating an electric and fast-paced environment rarely found in the Midwest. Whether you are aiming for a personal best or seeking a one-of-a-kind racing experience, this event offers a distinct challenge. Athletes can choose from three distances: the Mile, 5k, and 10k. It is a rare opportunity to test your speed on a track typically reserved for race cars.
