COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Starting/Finishing at Celebration Hall in Ottawa, Kansas, and following the Prairie Spirit Trail two miles north before intersecting with the Flint Hills Trail, this (out & back) course will take you outbound southeasterly to the quaint little towns of Rantoul for the Marathon and the western edge of Osawatomie for the 40 Miler, and then back to Celebration Hall in Ottawa. Crew and/or drop bag access at both of the events turnaround points in Rantoul and Osawatomie. Come join us for a late spring/early summer "jaunt through the woods" on crushed limestone, along the far eastern section of the gorgeous 120 Mile Flint Hills Trail. The trail will be in "full bloom" come late May and the trees will be providing a spectacular shaded canopy over many portions (on this particular section) of this very scenic "rails-to-trails" trail in mid-eastern Kansas. No pacers are allowed in either event.
