Free State Trail Run

The Free State Trail Run is held on the Lake Perry MTB Trails, between Lawrence and Topeka, Kansas. The course is run completely on 100% single-track trails in a hardwood forest, with not much elevation gain or loss. This trail is rocky and technical! There are occasional views of Lake Perry, during the race.

The Half is one 13.1-mile loop. The marathon is two 13.1-mile loops. The 40-mile course consists of two 20+ mile loops. The 100-Km course is three 20+ mile loops.

Staffed aid stations will be stocked with gels, HEED sports-drink and real food. There are also un-staffed water-only aid stations (without cups) for each distance. Entrants in ALL DISTANCES must carry a hydration device or water bottle, since there are no cups at the unstaffed water stations. The aid station food is for the runners (and pacers), only. Thanks in advance!

Post-race meal, Mile 90 Photography photos, CRAFT KEG BEER, and beverages included. Post-race showers will be available at the finish area. Nicely-designed gender-specific event shirts (if registered by April 5), a logo’d glass mug, & unique finisher’s hardware.

The marathon, half, and 40-mile finishers get custom medals, and the 100-Km finishers get a custom-made pewter belt buckle. And starting this year: every 40-Mile and 100K finisher will receive a Ouray custom trucker hat with your finisher distance on it!
