This is a low-key, fun event.  There are no shirts, unless you want to buy one, no medals, and no raucous crowds cheering for you.  What you get, though, is a GOOD TIME in the great outdoors, a FREE TRAIL NERDS BANDANA, and the possibility of winning a new pair of Vasque Trail Running Shoes in our DRAWING.  All for $8 !!!

There will be an un-staffed aid station on the course at about mile 2 and 6.5, but we advise that you carry your own water bottle or hydration system.

THIS RUN ONLY COSTS EIGHT MEASLY BUCKS!
That's less than $1 per mile
 
Entry is on the day of the race only.

Charitible Contributions:  Entry proceeds (after expenses) to go to the Kansas Trails Council. By the way, the KTC do all of trail maintenance and trail building in this park!

Dogs as Pacers:
We are a dog-friendly bunch, within reason.  After all, a dog designed one of the trails you run on in other events.  You can run with your (well-mannered) dog, but it must be on a leash, and you must not let it get entangled with another runnerYour dog will be issued a bib number that needs to be attached (with your name and cell # written on it with a sharpie).  Your dog will be included in the official results, if you sign it in at the starting line.  There is no additional cost to you.  Please keep in mind that we won't allow any cruelty to animals, so you must attest to your dog's "trail conditioning."  If it appears that your dog is heat-stressed or otherwise physically stressed or injured, we will ask you to pull out of the race and seek out veterinary help. Please provide water and food for your dog.  You can refill your dog's water at the aid stations.
