About the race

FlatRock in Independence, Kansas offers a rugged, historic trail ultramarathon series on the Elk River Hiking Trail. FlatRock is the first and oldest trail ultra in Kansas. Distances include 50K, 25K, 12K and 5K, with a challenging, single-track out-and-back course through limestone bluffs, rock formations, and scenic vistas.

The event features a FlatRock Triple Crown series—WinterRock 25K, FlatRock101K, and FlatRock50K—with a special award for finishers who complete all three. Aid stations provide water, electrolyte drinks; soups and sandwiches; multiple checkpoints. Pre-race dinner, photos, and volunteer and military discounts add to the community atmosphere.

Race headquarters are at the Outlet Channel Shelter near Elk City Lake. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
