About the race

WinterRock, held in Independence, KS, offers 25K and 12K options along the Elk River Hiking Trail from the Outlet Channel Shelter. The route is technical and predominantly single-track, an out-and-back through limestone bluffs, rock formations, and scenic vistas. The event features a lean, unmanned aid setup typical of a Fat-Ass style, with water-only stations and no cups; participants must carry a handheld bottle.

After finishing, runners receive a shirt and medallion, and post-race Frito Pie is served. WinterRock kicks off the FlatRock Triple Crown, awarding a special finish-for-all-three-race prize, and offers a unique Kansas trail-running experience.
