In the summer they used to have the Mad Bomber Run For Your Life which was based on Charley Melvin, a prohibitionist who bombed three saloons in 1905 in Iola. This event ended in 2016 but it used to be the biggest event in Southeast Kansas and it would bring in many many people from the midwest. It was one of the biggest events in southeast Kansas, also had a carnival for the kids, old time games, and a drag race for members that wanted to join. After all of that was over the 5K run and 3K walk would start at midnight.
