Description
The perfect summer training experience! Finally, a rails-to-trails summer night race (actually a two night event). No tripping and no hills here! A 2.5 mile out and back in a safe area surrounded by your friends. Opportunities to share miles together or pass and wave all night for a great community atmosphere.
Last Man Standing - New ( in addition to the timed/distance events)
The traditional 4.167 distance per hour as an out and back on a flat rail trail course. The same course as the other runners in the event only slightly shorter. Runners will be tested for 12 hours, then a break until 6pm Saturday to resume for a final 14 hours. The last hour will be a first person to finish race. Runners can get up to 108 miles. If a runner misses a lap and is out of the LMS, they may continue to reach a mileage goal on the final day.
Challenge
Any runner who breaks the 100 mile distance total for the two nights will get a free entry to Kansas Rails to Trails, Flatrock, or Honey Badger.
