Kansas Rails-To-Trails Extravaganza

The Kansas Rails-to-Trails Extravaganza is a multi-distance running event held in Ottawa, Kansas, featuring races from 5 miles up to 100 miles, including 100K, 50-mile, marathon, and half-marathon options. The course runs primarily on the scenic Prairie Spirit Trail, a crushed limestone path passing through charming small towns with asphalt sections in town areas. The event offers a flat, accessible course ideal for both first-timers and experienced runners aiming for personal records.

Aid stations are spaced about every 5 miles, fully stocked with water, electrolytes, and snacks. The family-friendly atmosphere includes crew-accessible areas, pacers allowed for the latter half, unique finisher buckles, race photos, and post-race meals. The start/finish and staging area is at Celebration Hall in Ottawa. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
