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 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!

The 7th Annual Road Home features two events.  First is our Fitness Challenge that happened on May 20-29, 2023.  This virtual event features stories of fallen US military Heroes.  Each day of the challenge, participants will receive an email with the story of the Hero of the day, written exercise instructions, and three exercise videos.  We have tailored the exercises to meet the needs of beginners through advanced participants. The exercises use little to no additional equipment.

Second is our 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run on September 16, 2023.  The event will take place at Sedgwick County Park.  The 5K is a timed race.  Every participant will receive an awesome t-shirt, a completion Medal and trophies for various age groups and overall winners. 

Large flags will be available for you to carry you cross the finish line!

Passageways Living Center is designed to help our veterans with a hand-up, not a hand-out. We provide a warm and safe environment for them to live and accomplish their goals.  We provide a road map through the maze of VA programs and give them the time they need to work through the system without worrying about where they will sleep or find food. Many of our current heroes have spent months living on the street, unable to get into the programs that would benefit them because they didn’t have the resources they needed. 

In our world today, there are Veterans who went away to foreign countries to fight for our freedom only to come home and continue the fight. They fight for a place in society, an identity, a place to call home. No Veteran should ever have to continue their fight after returning to their home soil.

General Course Description

100-mile & 75-mile Start time: 6:00AM. 50-mile Start time 7:AM Runners begin at the Start/Finish and run about an eighth of a mile to the trail head for the blue-blazed trail. Make a left turn onto the blue-blazed trail and follow it a couple hundred yards to the Sanders Mound trail. Runners take a left and do a quick 1.1 mile out-and-back to the top of Sanders Mound. From there runners get back on the blue-blazed trail and head for the Lands End aid station.

From Lands End, take the RED blazed trail for about 1 mile and then connect with the blue-blazed trail. Follow the BLUE trail and after crossing the Park road and it will turn into the white-blazed trail 3.5 miles from Lands End 1 at a point known as Cactus Ridge.

The white-blazed trail will take runners to the West Park Road aid station. From there, leave the trails and follow the signs, flags and ribbons along West Park Road, staying on the grass, to Bunker Hill. This is the Goodwin Loop. Complete the 2.5-mile Goodwin Loop, which includes a traverse of Bunker Hill, and return to the West Park Road aid station. Runners then continue on the white-blazed trail back to the Lands End aid station.

Leaving Lands End, continue on the white-blazed trail back to the Start/Finish aid station. This completes one loop of the course.

Big Loop: At the Start/Finish aid station, runners will have completed 25 miles (26.2 for marathoners)—what we call the “Big Loop.” Hundred-milers repeat the Big Loop three more times, 75-milers two more times, and 50-milers one more time.

When the trails cross: The white-blazed trail and the blue-blazed trail cross at several points on the course. The crossings will be heavily marked and signed, but it is the runner's responsibility to read and heed the markers, signs, and white and blue blazes to stay on course.

Marathon: Start time 8:00AM - runners will follow the same course as the 50, 75, and 100-mile runners, but they will run an additional 1.2 miles at the beginning of the race.

Aid Stations

The Hawk is a fully-staffed race with three aid stations, manned by experienced UltraRunners. The usual food and drink, with Tailwind and Honey Stinger products will be available at each of the aid stations. Aid stations usually offer a mix of vegan/vegetarian/omnivore options, including hot food and soups in the overnight hours. Aid station protocols will follow guidance from local health authorities and other safety precautions as necessary to protect the runners and our volunteers. Following are the locations and distances runners will hit aid stations as they traverse the 25-mile course (26.2 for marathoners).

• Lands End: 4.5 miles – no crew access, drop bags
• West Park Road: 10.5 and 13 miles – crew access, drop bags
• Lands End: 18.5 miles – no crew access, drop bags
• Start/Finish: 25 miles – crew access, drop bags

Cut Offs

CUT OFFS
The 100, 75, and 50-mile races have a Sunday 10:00am cut off for runners leaving the West Park Road aid station, after completing the Bunker Hill/Goodwin loop. This is at mile 88 for the 100-mile runners and mile 38 for the 50-mile runners.
The cut off for Lands End aid Station is Sunday 12pm, noon. This is at mile 93.5 for the 100-mile runners, 68.5 for the 75-mile runners, and 43.5 for the 50-mile runners.

To stay in the race, you must have left the aid station by the above cut off times. Volunteers will breakdown the aid station at that time, and depart. Runners continuing on their own accord past the cutoffs, and not arriving at the Start/Finish on or before the 2pm cutoff, will not be eligible for the finisher awards.
