Elrod’s Cirque Gravel Grind

Date: May 11, 2024
Time: 7:00 am
Location: 523 Main St, Winfield, KS 67156
Cycling

Elrod's Cirque is a self-supported gravel course through the Flint Hills in south central Kansas. Riders will begin in beautiful downtown Winfield before enjoying backcountry gravel roads throughout the southern Flint Hills. We suggest taking a moment to appreciate the historic stone bridges and beautiful scenery throughout Cowley County.

The 100 mile course is the crown jewel of Elrod's Cirque, taking riders through the far reaches of Cowley County. Featuring over 4,000 ft of climbing this course is as rugged as it is beautiful. In 2023 we're offering a 150 mile adventure to commemorate Winfield's 150th Birthday! The brave souls that sign up for this are certain to have a day they won’t soon forget.

If that sounds like a bit too much fun, there are also a 50, 25 and 12 mile options. The 50 mile course can be fast or make a day of it and ride to enjoy the sights. E-bikes are welcome on the 50 mile course.

The 25 mile option will travel over mostly well groomed gravel roads with a couple hills for good measure. The 12 mile course will stick to mostly pavement and keep away from major inclines. Both of these rides are suitable for e-bikes, beginners, families and anyone else who's looking for a great excuse to get outside.

Riders will all start in downtown Winfield before venturing through the best roads in Cowley Co. Riders in the 12, 25 and 50 mile course will have snacks and hydration provided at the turn-around point. Those riding in the 100 mile race will have at minimum two SAG stops. The 150 mile course is an adventure, please bring cash to resupply at convenience stores. In the event of abnormally hot weather extra hydration stops will be added to the course.

Bring your lawn chair to relax after the ride! We’ll have food trucks and alcohol available on site but you’re welcome to bring your own food and drink.

Get excited to grind some gravel, experience the beauty of the southern Flint Hills and kick back to enjoy a darn good day on the bicycle. If you have any questions please feel free to ask us, we can’t wait to see you May 11th!

Flower Moon 4 Mile, Half Marathon, Marathon, and 50 Mile

Date: May 11, 2024
Time: 6:00 am
Location: Pawhuska, OK, 36.731321, -96.182261
Running

Overview

The Flower Moon on May 13th with gorgeous Dreamcatcher-inspired medals!! Located within Osage Hills State Park (one of Oklahoma’s seven original State Parks), Flower Moon will offer distances of 4, 13.1, 26.2, and 50 (52ish) miles. Yes, the 50 mile is a bit long, but that buckle should make it worth that extra effort. Read the historical book, watch the Scorsese/DiCaprio movie (shooting on location at the park), run the trails, and collect the swag. We have so much planned for this trail run, including Fry Bread Tacos after the race! It is going to be extraordinary!!

Atmosphere!!

This race will be a bit different from most trail runs as runners of the varying distances should finish at similar times. With staggered starting times, all the runs are scheduled for the average finisher to complete the run around 6PM. This will allow us to all eat Fry Bread Tacos together and visit/party after the race.

Outlaw Trail Series

Complete all 6 trail runs in the Outlaw Trail Series (Outlaw, Lake McMurtry, Greater Roadrunner Trail Run, Flower Moon, Dark and Dirty, and Thunderbird) in the calendar year 2022 and receive a cool plaque to recognize your achievement. Distance is not a factor (in other words, you can run the 5K or the 135mile). Virtual options do exist that allow runners to complete the series even if they are unable to attend an event in person. An Oklahoma-shaped plaque with hooks to hang the medals will make a nice Christmas arrival next year.

Course Description

The run features a great single track course with some technical areas, but is also very runnable. Located completely within Osage Hills State Park which offers 1,100 acres, this is a beautiful run through the woods with gorgeous scenery around the lake and the old CCC camp. The half marathon has about 1,100 feet of gain running it twice for the marathon and four times for the fifty mile. Please see the course maps in the pictures above or at our website (gpx files also available) at www.Outlaw100.com.

Virtual Run

Unable to attend and still want to participate? Virtual options do exist that allow runners to obtain a coveted medal or complete the series even if they are unable to attend an event in person. We realize that other life obligations come up.

The run will feature a 4 mile distance as well as a 6 mile loop that can be done twice for a 12 mile option. The trails are mildly technical, mountain bike style single track that winds and meanders over a rugged landscape amongst rock gardens, cactus, and cedar trees along with visual highlights of a mesa known as Inspiration Point overlooking Lake Watonga and the canyon.

Running

Overview

Oklahoma’s Oldest Trail Run!! The race was started in 1999 by Earl Blewett. Earl saw the beauty of Lake McMurtry with its gorgeous scenery, soft, beginner friendly trail system, spectacular lake views, and reputation for having some of the best trails in the state of Oklahoma for running as well as mountain biking. In 2009 Earl turned the race over to the Tatur organization and its race director Ken Childress. Ken did a fantastic job of keeping the quality, history and tradition of the Lake McMurtry Trail Race alive. The Outlaw group began directing the run in 2019 who added their own flair, while keeping the tradition alive with the same great trails and entertaining aid stations.

Outlaw Trail Series

Complete all 6 trail runs in the Outlaw Trail Series (Outlaw, Lake McMurtry, Greater Roadrunner Trail Run, Flower Moon, Dark and Dirty, and Thunderbird) in a calendar year and receive a cool plaque to recognize your achievement. Distance is not a factor (in other words, you can run the 5K or the 135mile). Virtual options do exist that allow runners to complete the series even if they are unable to attend an event in person. An Oklahoma-shaped plaque with hooks looks great as a display for awesome medals.

Course Description

A variety of distances to choose from with offerings of 100K, 50K, 25K, 12K and 5K on single track, winding through the pines and along the shores of Lake McMurtry. This is a moderately difficult course, great for beginners and seasoned trail runners alike. The courses consist of a loop on the west side of the lake with the longer races utilizing an out and back to the east side of the lake as well. The 50K has about 2,600 feet of gain. The 100K comprises the 50K course twice. Please message us for gpx files.

Clean Water 5K

Date: April 6, 2024
Time: 8:30 am
Location: 2101 W Sim Park Dr, Wichita
Running

Description

PACKET PICK-UP: Friday, April 5, noon to 5 p.m. at Wichita First Church of the Nazarene (1400 E. Kellogg Drive).  Packets may also be picked up on race day starting at 7:30 am at the race information table near the starting line.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? For the seventh year in a row your entire registration fee goes toward building borehole wells and providing clean water education to villages in Africa. After 6 years, we now have 18 Wichita borehole wells in Malawi & 3 wells in Kenya, DR Congo & Ivory Coast, bringing abundant clean water to thousands of people every day.  This water is life. We use this precious resource many times each day without thought or effort. Yet many people around the world don’t enjoy this luxury because they don’t have easy access to water and possibly no access to clean water. Many women and children around the globe spend hours each day in search of water; their lives revolve around this task. Often the water they collect is contaminated and causes diarrhea, which is the leading cause of illness and death around the world. Many organizations are working to eradicate this problem by building safe wells in communities one village at a time. Access to clean water reduces illness and death, increases school attendance, builds gender equality, diminishes scarcity conflicts and improves impoverished communities. Yes, water is life.

Wichita Clean Water 5K is partnering with Nazarene Compassionate Ministries in Africa to bring life to villages through the construction of safe wells and clean water education. This year we are raising funds to build borehole wells in African villages. Many villages try to survive by fetching water from irrigation dams. Since these dams are meant for irrigation, the water is contaminated with diesel from pipes and generators. The water in these dams are further contaminated by animals, who also use this water source. Additionally, villagers bathe, do laundry and clean utensils in this dirty water. Community members often suffer from diarrhea and other waterborne diseases. Many women and children walk over 2½ miles to collect this dirty water.

Your race entry will help bring more borehole wells and water education to even more villages. You can make a life-changing difference to a community of people by registering for the Clean Water 5K and inviting your friends to join you. Together, we can install a safe well and be a part of something much bigger than ourselves.
