Heartland 50
The Heartland 50 is an ultramarathon event held in Cassoday, Kansas, featuring 25K, 50K, and 50-mile distances. The course is an out-and-back route primarily on backcountry gravel roads with less than a mile of pavement, winding through the scenic Flint Hills tallgrass prairie. It offers a challenging yet non-technical terrain suitable for both first-time ultrarunners and experienced athletes aiming for personal records.
Runners have a generous 15-hour cutoff to complete their distances. The race provides tri-blend finisher shirts, awards, and free race-day photos. Aid stations and drop bag services are available, with crew access at select points.
The event emphasizes safety, environmental respect, and strict race rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
