Welcome to the Middle Creek Meltdown
Get your legs ready for some of the most beautiful single-track trails and rolling hills outside of La Cygne Kansas. 45 minutes south of Kansas City, we've built trails designed to test your legs and lungs; with 1k feet of elevation per loop, you'll get to experience it head-on. The 15-mile race features three 5-mile loops, the 10-mile race features two 5-mile loops while and the 5-miler is one shot around.
We also have a 5-mile option for kids should you have a young runner that you would accompany for one of your laps. Sign up your kiddos under the "Kids 5 Mile," and please plan on running with them for their lap (no kids are allowed to run solo).
Welcome to La Cygne KS

**Camping is permitted Friday so bring your tent or camper!
Course Description
Up and down. Down and up. You're going to cover some vertical on a FAST track that was custom-built for trail races - 90% of which is smooth and obstacle-free. Starting off at the bridge the first mile is a double-wide track which is perfect for passing and thinning out the herd. From there you dive into the gorgeous single track and get a chance to experience the topography eastern Kansas has to offer.
Please be aware that this is a trail race and the mileage for the loop/course is approximate and you may end up running a little over the estimated 5MI per loop.
