COURSE DESCRIPTION

All runs will take place on the Switchgrass Mountain Bike Trail at Wilson State Park. The 100 has the most elevation gain and loss of any 100-miler in Kansas! If you’re looking for a challenging course in the “flatlands” you’ve found it. The trail is easy-to-follow, rugged, single-track with very few trees/wooded areas. Beautiful views of Wilson State Park and Wilson Lake are abundant. Elevation Statistics 10k - 442 ft 20-mile – 2,024 ft, 100k – 6,072 ft, 100-mile - 10,120 ft, Pure Hell 140 – 14,168 ft The races will consist of 20-mile loops – one loop for 20-milers, three loops for 100k runners, 5 loops for 100-milers, and 7 loops for Pure Hell 140-milers. The 10k has a well-marked special cutoff. The course will be heavily marked with ribbons, flags, and wrong-way signs. This is an extremely easy course to follow. Getting off course has not been an issue. Aid Stations – There will be two aid stations – the start/finish and “Hell Hill.” Hell Hill you will have the pleasure of visiting twice per loop. The main aid station will be at the start/finish area and Hell Hill is around 10.5 miles and 16.75 miles of the loop. Both will include your typical aid station items – food (vegan options), water, soda, and electrolyte drink. Both aid stations will have some hot food items at night as well. There will be 1 unmanned water station at mile 5. The furthest one must go without access to water is 6.25 miles. Note - The 10k does not hit any aid. It's only a little over 6-miles...you'll be alright ;)
