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

Date: May 13, 2023
Time: 6:00 am
Location: 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.

Overview

This event will have a cap of 200 runners so sign up early.

The Outlaw group loves featuring our state parks!! Our newest trail run is the Greater Roadrunner Trail Run at Roman Nose State Park. Roman Nose, named after a Cheyenne chief, is one of Oklahoma’s original seven state parks. It is located just outside of Watonga (just 75 miles from Oklahoma City) in the more northwest part of the state with all that the panhandle landscape offers (or doesn’t offer—very few trees). 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.

Race times

The 4 miler and Challenge start at 7am, the 6 miler starts at 8am, and the 12 miler starts at 9:30am.

Coyote Challenge

For those wanting a longer distance, the coyote challenge consists of tackling all three distances: the 4 mile, 6 mile, and the 12 mile for a total of 22 miles!! Those completing the challenge will receive a medal as well as a special award. Podium awards will also be given for the lowest cumulative time.

If you finish a distance and the next distance has already started, simply start the next race. Back of the pack runners can complete the challenge as well.

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 to hang awesome medals

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.

Cutoff

The cutoff for all distances is 6 hours.

Packet Pickup

Packet pick up will start at 5:30 am the day of the race at the Start/Finish.

Awards Policy

We work hard on our swag because we know you work hard for our swag!!! We do allow drop downs to receive the medal for the longest distance completed (but not qualify for place).

Volunteer Benefits
Along with a T-shirt and the normal fun of volunteering, we would like to do more. It takes a community to put on quality races, but volunteers also need to be appreciated.
