If you are familiar with Kansas, you may know the state moto is “Ad Astra Per Aspera.” Depending on how you google it, the Latin means “to the stars through difficulties.” We wanted a race that was awesome and represented Kansas. We felt “The Bad Astra” was a great name for a gravel bike race. “Bad Astra” in Latin means “really cool bike race…” probably.

We will be offering distances of 100 miles (The Bad Astra), 50 miles (The Half Astra), and 25 miles (BA Party Pace).(

(All distances are rough estimates. All race distances will be a minimum of the number miles)

The program will be as follows: Shifts are in 8 hour increments and you must sign up. If you volunteer for one shift at any of our races you will get 25% off registration for any of our future races.

Runners starting a race but not finishing the intended distance will be listed as a DNF at the bottom of the results for their registered distance. Runners may not be “dropped down” to a shorter distance once they start a race, and will not appear as finishers of the shorter distance. This ensures a fair event where runners know their competition and cannot be lowered in place by a runner dropping down in distance. Runners may switch distances before the start of their race and will be eligible as a finisher in that event

DNF: Runners starting a race but not finishing the intended distance, in the intended order as marked, and under the official cutoffs,will be listed as a DNF at the bottom of the results for their registered distance.

We believe in fostering a respectful and supportive race environment, and these rules are in place to uphold that.

Scouts BSA Sky Trail Adventure Challenge Description
Beginning at Osage Hills State Park, run 2.3 miles to Scout Camp McClintock, gear up and ascend the 24-foot climbing tower, zipline across Sand Creek, mostly run (slowing down to cross the suspension bridge!) another 0.5 miles to then kayak (kayaks provided!) 0.75 miles of the creek (out and back), and return on the trail to Osage Hills State Park (2.6-mile run from the creek).
 
Sky Trail
Our name was inspired by, and with help from, the Osage Nation whose history is in this land. A unique portion of this journey takes you above the trees to beautiful views, leading to the selection of the Osage word meaning both sky and upper world.
 
Cherokee Area Council Scouts BSA
For 114 years in Northeast Oklahoma, Scouting has been helping youth build self-confidence and develop academic, ethical, leadership, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. Your entrance fees help provide powerful programming throughout six counties in Oklahoma. Visit https://cherokeebsa.org for more information!
 
Additional Information
Osage Hills Stage Park charges $10 daily for parking. Reserve in advance at https://www.premiumparking.com/p4621(or buy an annual pass and park at any of the lovely parks around Oklahoma!)

Safety is always our top priority. Please be patient with our certified volunteers and staff who are ensuring your safety with proper equipment at the climbing tower and kayaks. This race will be for any adult (18 and over). We’re keeping our entry numbers low so everyone can have an enjoyable experience, and we will stagger the start times as we know donning safety equipment takes time. As we have no proper climbing equipment for our furrier friends, dogs will not be allowed to participate in this event.

Packet pickup will begin at 7am at the Bike Trails entrance in Osage Hills State Park on the morning of the event; the first group will start at 8 am.
Entry includes a long-sleeve, moisture-wicking technical shirt. Our finisher “medals” are Ugly Mugz BSA Camp mugs. An adult Scout volunteer will be onsite with our branding irons, so you can choose a Scout-related design to brand on the mug! Since this is a small group, we will have commemorative awards for the first place competitor in each gender category.

Available for purchase from our vendor friends:
Scissortail Brewery will have kegs of craft beer to fill your newly earned camp mug!
