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 along with GORE-TEX.
There will be quite a few trail races in the 2008 series, starting with
the Red Bridge Ramble in March 2008, and culminating with the “Psycho WyCo Run Toto Run” in Feb '09. 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.
