We have a plethora of decent and INEXPENSIVE trail races in the Extended Kansas City Metro Area now, so why not have a Trail Race Series? That’s what we said, so the KC Trail Nerds got together with other area race directors, and made it happen.

This year, Vasque (Trail Running Shoe Company) will be the main sponsor of our Trail Series.

There will be quite a few trail races in the 2007 series, culminating with the “Psycho WyCo Run Toto Run” in Feb '08. (See list of races below). Keep checking the Trail Series web page of schedule changes or races added/deleted. There will also be chances to score “make-up points” for races not run, and put those points in a "make-up points bank." You will get 1 point for every mile of each finished event that you’ve run. In addition, points will be awarded for the top five male & female finishers in your respective age/sex category.

For 2007, there will be actually Two Series Divisions: Short Distance and Long Distance. We are aware that many runners are competitive at distances of 10 miles and shorter, and other (slightly crazier) runners prefer the “long stuff.” There are also (even crazier) runners who will want to compete in both divisions. There is nothing stopping you from doing so.

The series itself does not cost you anything to enter, (but we wouldn’t mind you purchasing one or more of our series shirts). We will keep track of all series competitors using a combined spreadsheet of all of the finish results of all of the events listed.
