The fourth annual Psycho WyCo Run Toto Run and Psychopathic 5K is now history.  We set a couple of records, this year.  We had an attendance record, with over 400 showing up on race day to run.  And we had our 50K course record shattered by 26-year old Matthew Laye from Columbia, Missouri, in a time of 4:19:42 ! 

Not bad, even for this "flatter than a pancake" Kansas course, with the "perpetually perfect" course and weather conditions that are always encoutered in this little corner of our fair state.  (What's a little mud between friends)?

Final results will be posted on the race website , soon.  Preliminary results are on the Race Day Timing Solutions site .  If you find a discrepancy, please email Raul Flores , to help resolve the issue.  Things can happen on a multiple-event course.   

Our race photographer, Dick Ross, was up until 2 a.m. loading the photos onto www.seekcrun.com.  He and his helper took over 1100 photos.

Thanks to all of our incredible volunteers that make this race happen (and improve) from year to year.  And thanks to the Unified Government of Wyandotte County Parks & Recreation Department for letting us use this beautiful venue for our event.

Happy trails,

The Psychopathic 5K is a separate out-and-back trail race at 8 a.m., during the Psycho WyCo Run Toto Run. Beware: It's the toughest 5K trail run in the Midwest! This race gets its own special shirt and hardware, and is the Winter (Ice) Edition of the Psychopathic 5K "Fire & Ice" series. Fee: $25 before Jan 26, 2008.  We will have chip timing, provided by Raul Flores RaceDay Timing Solutions.
 
Course Description:
Out and back course on rocky, rooty, and hilly bridle trails & single-track trails.  These trails aren't "sissy" groomed or paved trails; they're the real thing.
 
Food and Aid Station:
We will have homemade hot soup for all participants, after the race(s). Yum! There will be a staffed aid station at the turn-around.  The aid station will have "SUCEED!" brand sports drink and water for participants.
 
Shirts:
Well-designed long sleeve "technical" t-shirts for all participants that enter prior to January 26. No guarantee of a shirt or proper size for later registrants. All Psychopathic 5K participants will receive their own shirt design, different from the Psycho Wyco race.  
 
Event "Hardware":
All 5K entrants will receive a unique "Psychotic Psoup" mug. Do the Summer version, the "Fire" race, and collect a different mug.  Start your collection now! 
 
Packet Pickup:
Friday, February 8, from noon to 7 p.m. at Garry Gribble's Running Sports (Stoll Park), at 119th St & Quivira Rd., Overland Park, Kansas (Or you can show up on race day 45-minutes early). Keep in mind that the park will not open until 7:00 a.m., and we'll be setting up until 7:15 a.m. 

 
Charity:
The "Kansas City Trail Nerds" group is dedicated to having affordable and fun trail events, and it's our mission to add and maintain singletrack trail systems in an environmentally proactive and responsible manner. The Trail Nerds are part of the Kansas City Track Club, which is a federally recognized 501(c)3, not-for-profit corporation. Any proceeds leftover after race expenses are funneled back into trail advocacy activities and putting on even more fun and inexpensive (future) events.
