For the Psycho Wyco Run Toto Run 50K, this year:
Special Prize(s) - The "Mud Stud" Challenge In the past seven
"Psycho Wyco Run Toto Run" 50K events, there have only been sixteen sub-5-hour finishers, despite there having been
over 750 total (50K) entrants! There has NEVER been a sub-4-hour finisher! And there have been only six sub-6-hour
female finishers in the history of the race, (with one of them being a dog). We need more Hall of Fame finishers! After all, this is Kansas...how tough could it be???
So...in a (perhaps misguided) attempt to attract racing talent of truly "epic
proportions, " we will offer the following challenge:
* $250 check and free entry for 5 years
for the first female entrant to break the 5-hour barrier, (in addition to normal first-place prizes).
* $300 check and free entry for 5 years for the first entrant to break 4 hours
on this course, (in addition to normal first-place prizes).
* $75 check and one free entry for any male entrant to break 5 hours on this course, (in addition to normal
finisher-place prizes).
* $75 check and one
free entry for any female entrant to break 6 hours on this course, (in addition to normal finisher-place prizes).
