This is the fourth year of the Winter Madnaess Series which features four individual races over the winter months. The format is very different from traditional orienteering as the race is a mass start. The race is broken into three parts. The first is a set of common controls where the runners go head to head. They then enter the Madnaess box which features 7 or more controls. The intent of this box is to equalize the race for all levels of skill and as such each runner gets to skip a certain amount the controls based on their age and gender. Many racers will have to visit all of them while younger or older runners will do fewer. Coming out of the box they then cover a number of common controls once again and, if planned out properly, most of the runners should finish very close to one another.
