Additional Info:
The Steve 50 2015 is a fun walk/run for, well, FUN. This is a family friendly event. We will use it as an opportunity to raise funds for a fellow Kansas Ultrarunner, Dustin Birdsong. His 2 year old son Browynnn has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor.
All donations and proceeds from tee shirt sales will be donated to the family. There will be a donation jar located at the manned aid station, located at the start/finish line. This aid station will be fully stocked with water, heed, hammer gels, and standard ultra aid station fare, provided by KUS (Kansas Ultrarunners Society), of which I am a PROUD member.
The run will be on a 5 mile single track loop. Feel free to walk or run as much as you want. Five or fifty, or anything in between. Use this as an opportunity to get a training run in with the bonus of the aid station provided. Run with some friends, even make some new ones.
Shirts can be ordered on a pre-order basis for $20.00 per shirt. If you would like to order shirts, please put your name, size and how many you want in the comments below, or email Steve at steve_j_baker7@yahoo.com. Pre-orders will end February 15th. There will be limited shirts available the day of the run, but no guarantees.
There is no advance registration needed. Just show up and walk/run as much as you want. Come anytime between 7:00 and 7:00, whenever it is convenient for you.
Steve you're doing a great thing! It's great to see ultrarunners treat each other like family throughout the US.
ReplyDeleteI came across your site looking for parks/trails to run while visiting Wichita on business. I'm a CA ultrarunner looking to discover the local parks. Do you have any recommendations? I'll be staying in the Pawnee Prairie Park area.
Sorry that CCC100 is a no go for you in 2015. I was entered in that lottery as well and didn't get in :-(
Hi Frank, welcome to Wichita. Pawnee Prairie Park is fun to run. It is a 5 mile loop. There is a rails to trails that runs East and West through Wichita. It breaks up a little in town. There is also the trail my event is to be at. It is on the East side if town. It is also a 5 mile loop.
ReplyDeleteIf you are in town March 14th, you are invited to come out and join me. I am excited you found me. I don't post on here to often, but glad I created it to post about races i have done and be able to look back on them later.
I am 150th on the wait list. I'm not sure I will get in. Will try again next year if I don't. How long you in town? Would you like to meet for a run?
Hey Steve! Thanks for all the info - so glad to hear I'll be close to a local approved park (Pawnee). I WISH I were around for your event on March 14th. That sounds fun. I'm in town March 2-5 for work. I'll message you via Facebook to get together for a run during my time there.
