County Lake Park
Kansas City, KS
2011 Results
One of the nicest 4-milers you'll ever run. This scenic race has a lot of up and down, and some very fast sections. The course is on new singletrack trails,
built by the Trail Masons.
This is a race to honor the veterans among us. If you are a veteran, or current or former member of the armed forces,
police, fire department, park ranger, or EMT emergency services, your entry is FREE. Just show up on race day and fill-out
& sign the waiver. Just an $10 entry fee for "regular folks." Some race proceeds
to go to the Trail Masons, toward trail maintenance & building in Wyco Park.
Registration is on the day
of the event ONLY and opens at 7:45 a.m. (at the race, shelter # 9 ).
Please check-out the Korean and Vietnam War Veterans
Memorial at the main gate of the park.

2010 Race:
This year's race course had to be changed to a southern-route out-and-back,
because of a "controlled burn" by the park. It went-off without a hitch, due to the many wonderful volunteers and with
the help of the Marines and the Army.
We had a record turnout of 107 runners, with additional canine runners,
as well. Thanks to everyone who participated or volunteered.

Race Reports
Vet's Day Run Haiku's and Limericks:
Chilly, Breezy Morn
Crunchy leaves hide rocks, roots, mud
Oh-Eight
Vets Day Run
(by Bryan Hay)
It was the vet race of o-eight
In the chill we tempted our fate
We
ran in the cold
Breaking the mold
To all the volenteers I think that you're great!!!!!
(by Nick Lang)
They trod the trails for Vets Day
Though skies were cold and so gray
But
rocks, roots and miles
produced nothing but smiles
As a Vet, I was honored, I'll say!
(by Gary Henry)
A man ran WyCo in a trance,
The hills stepped on him like ants,
But
it didn't matter,
He lost control of his bladder,
And on the finish line he Uta Pippiged his tight pants.
