Description

The 32nd annual Not 4 Wimps trail run is ready & waiting for  you.  We will park, start and finish at the Warren Riverview Park. The only indoor restroom facilities available will be just outside the lodge entrance as the indoor facility is currently closed for maintenance & repairs.  Capacity of this year's event is limited to 200 so please sign-up early.  We’re bringing back chip timing with The Timer Guys. Bottled water will be provided at multiple distances on the course beginning at 3 miles.  Trash cans will be available immediately beyond the water stations for empty bottles as well as nutrition packaging etc. to help maintain clean trails.    The course will be well marked for each distance with all 3 distances sharing the same basic course. Our job is to make sure the course is everything that you've come to expect, your job is to bring on the fun. . .  and smile - even when it hurts! 

"No Frills" Race

 Bottled water will be provided post-event, but your on your own for food.   Feel free to bring your own goodies (toasted marshmallows are highly recommended) to share at the fire-pit as you cheer your friends through the finish-line.  Friends and family are welcome and encouraged to hang-out at the park - the Lodge balcony provides a great vantage point.

This is a timed course that is marked well, but it is still a trail course!  If you don't see any course markings, you are going the wrong way!   If you are not leading the pack and you come across a spider web, you’re going the wrong way!  If you get lost and tack on some extra mileage, well then you got some extra bang for your buck!  You're not going to get an age group medal, or a finishers medal, or a pretty shirt with this race.  When you get done, we have some awesome giveaways to go along with the pride of knowing that you didn't wimp out and take the shortcut back.  Feel free to also brag to your friends that you finished a challenging race in the middle of February, while everyone else is still in hibernation mode, or stuck on a treadmill wishing for some new scenery!   This race is a bargain, and we want to keep it that way!

Packet pickup will start at 11:00 am at the outdoor pavilion.

COURSE

*The 2022 course will run the opposite direction (counterclockwise) from previous years!* The course is a 2.1 mile loop at Cessna Activity Center in South Wichita near Oliver and George Washington Blvd (2744 George Washington Blvd, Wichita, KS 67210 is entrance into park). The trail is grass/dirt and includes a wooded section and very little elevation change on each loop. The course is a great place to set a personal record! How many miles can you run? It’s up to you! The event will be chip-timed by the Timer Guys. Details on that below. The parking lot can be accessed off George Washington Blvd.

COURSE MARKINGS & HEADLAMPS. The course will be marked with ground marking flags, signs, cones and paint. You will want a headlamp and/or light when running at night. The sun will rise at 7:08am and set at 5:19pm. If you are running the 24-hour please have a light or two ready.

LAP TOTALS
To receive a buckle, you will need to complete a 50K in your event. For a 50K you will need to complete 15 laps which actually totals 31.5 miles. IF YOU CAN'T COMPLETE A 50K IN 6 HOURS AND WANT A BUCKLE, SIGN UP FOR THE 12 HOUR RACE.
Lap totals will be available to you throughout the race. 50.4 miles = 24 laps, 63 miles (1 mile over 100k) = 30 laps, 100.8 miles = 48 laps.
***Note: This course is not certified and therefore will not be eligible for state records.

AID STATION

There will be one main aid station that you will run by every loop with all of the supplies listed below.
The following basic items will be available at the one manned aid station that you will pass by every loop. (If you have any food allergies or diet restrictions please pack a food and supplies in your drop bags.) Gatorade, Water, Pop (Mt. Dew, Coke, Ginger Ale), Coffee, Bananas, PBJ Sandwiches and/or rollups, Oranges, Boiled Potatoes, Hot Chocolate, Soup, Cookies, M&Ms, Pretzels, crackers, Peanuts, Ham & Turkey Sandwiches, and some S-Caps. Ice will also be available. We may have a few items like homemade cookies or soups as provided by KUS members or entrants. If you want to bring some cookies or anything special to share, please feel free to do so!

CREW INFO

PACERS & CREW & DOGS.
The spirit and concept of the timed loop run is for it to be solo. That is definitely part of the challenge of this event. Therefore, pacers will NOT be allowed for the 6 and 12 hour events. (24 hour entrants can use a pacer after 12pm if they wish. Just one pacer at a time with each runner, please.) Tents and small pop-up tents and canopies ARE allowed. Dogs will NOT be allowed to accompany any runners on the course. Any dog with your crew needs to be on a leash at all times and not in the aid station area, please.

DROP BAGS

You will have incredible INDOOR access to a drop bag shortly after the start/finish area. You can pack as much stuff in your drop bag or bags as you want for this event as there will be plenty of space! You're welcome to leave it outdoors right off the course, or indoors.

CHIP TIMING

BIB CHIP TIMING INSTRUCTIONS will be released prior to race day. The MyLaps BibTag chip timing system will be used for the KUS 6/12/24 Hour Run. Your race bib is also your chip for timing purposes. Please do not bend or remove the timing chip from the back of the bib number. Since you will get your bib on race day/night, it is very important that you wear your bib as you start the race. It is also very important for your number to be on the front and visible at the finish line, so please attach it to the outside of any clothing. **IMPORTANT!** You DO need to cross the timing mat at 6:00pm, 6:00am or 7:00am at the start of the first lap. Once you have completed either your 6-hour or 12-hour event, please remove your bib and place it inside your vehicle to prevent it from inadvertently calculating additional laps.

PHOTOS

Mile 90 Photography will be on course Saturday morning through early Saturday afternoon. You can download your images on their website after the race at www.mile90.com.

AGE LIMIT

All runners under 18 years old must have a parent or guardian either running the race or at race headquarters (aid station area) AT ALL TIMES.

FAQ

-Can I walk the whole time? Absolutely! Whether running or walking, only completed laps count.

-Can I pitch a tent? You bet! Before setting it up, make sure you know the course and don't set it up right on the course.

Come join us as we run wild through the streets of Cowtown! This fun 5K will take you through Wichita's wild west, along the Museum District, and along the Arkansas River. The course is open for runners seeking a personal best while offering enough eye appeal for those looking for a nice stroll with the family. All participants will receive a participation medal. Awards will also be given by age group and gender.

Additional recognition will be given to runners beating our "Broncos" to the finish line. Each Broncos represents an Old Cowtown gang. If you beat the bronco across the finish line, you're faster than an iron horse. Broncos will run the 5K at 20, 25, 30, and 35 minutes (give or take). If you outrun a bronco you will receive a slider medal to attach to your participation award. These medals are beautiful and will truly be a showpiece to your running collection.

Course Description & Aid Stations

The Kansas Rails-to-Trails Extravaganza is run on the Prairie Spirit Trail and is a beautiful "rails-to-trails" course that runs through numerous quaint little towns.
The 100 Mile, 50 Mile and 50K course start at Celebration Hall in Ottawa with a short northbound out-and-back (100mile: approx 2mi, 50mile: approx. 4mi, 50K: approx. 1mi), then travel south to their turnaround (100mile: Iola, 50mile: Garnett, 50K: Richmond) and back north to the finish in Ottawa.
The 100K, Marathon, and Half Marathon start on the trail in Ottawa and will head south to their turnaround (100K: Welda, Mar: Richmond, 1/2Mar: Princeton) and back north to the finish in Ottawa.

The course is primarily on a crushed limestone trail, with asphalt paths as you travel through each small town. Manned and unmanned aid stations will be approximately every 5 miles (with no greater distance than approximately 6 miles) and the course is easily accessible to crew. It's a great event for first timers, as it's a flat and relatively easy course. It's also the perfect course for experienced runners wanting to set a PR. The atmosphere will be family friendly with plenty of places for your crew to hang out and relax while cheering you on. Pacers WILL BE allowed for the last half (approx.) of the event.

Aid Stations: Manned aid stations are fully-stocked with water, electrolyte drink & snack-type foods, unmanned aid stations with water only. Approximate distance between aid stations is 5 miles with no distance greater than a little over 9 miles between manned aid stations, all manned aid stations will have drop bag access..

The following link will open up a Google Map, showing the locations of the Start/Finish (Celebration Hall) and all six manned aid stations/crew access & drop bag points located in Princeton (1/2 Mar. t/a), Richmond (50K and Mar. t/a), Garnett (50 mile t/a), Welda (100K t/a, Colony & Iola (100 mile t/a). Unmanned (water only) aid stations are also show on map.

Lexi’s LAMB Foundation
Lexi's LAMB Foundation was formed in memory of Alexis Sparks to help children in local hospitals. Lexi's brief time on earth touched the lives of so many and her courage to keep fighting no matter what inspired so many more. Each year the foundation touches the lives of thousands of local children and their families. Whether it is something small like a sippy cup to something larger like a video game system to help distract the child during their hospital stay, our goal is bring comfort to the children while they are sick. Please join Lexi's family and friends on October 29, 2023 as we celebrate her life and raise money for children in local hospitals.
