Early Check-in
We will allow check-in the night prior. Location and time TBD

All runs will take place on the single-track, Switchgrass Mountain Bike Trail, at Wilson State Park.  If you’ve never run this trail you are in for a treat.  Switchgrass is very hilly, but not overly rugged.  Much of the trail runs directly beside beautiful Wilson Lake, the clearest lake in Kansas.  The trail is totally exposed, with no heavily wooded areas.   This makes for beautiful views, but also total exposure to the weather!  We are very excited to give you the opportunity to run on this amazing trail and believe it is the perfect addition to the other amazing ultras being put on in KS.

The course will be heavily marked with ribbons and wrong-way signs. This is an extremely easy course to follow. Getting off course should be of no issue.

Restrooms/showers – There are restrooms at the start/finish, and we will have a porta-potty (or two) near the other full aid. There are hot showers open year-round at Big Bluestem campground, about 3/4 mile from the start/finish.
