2009 Results
One of the toughest 4-milers that you'll ever run. Switchback trails...in Kansas???
This scenic race has a lot of up and down, and some very fast sections. Why does it feel
so much longer than four miles? The world may never know.
This is a race to honor the veterans among us. If you are a veteran, or current
or former member of the armed forces, police, fire department, park ranger, or EMT emergency services, your entry is FREE.
Just show up on race day and fill-out & sign the waiver. Just an $8 entry fee for "regular folks."
Any race proceeds to go to ERTA, toward trail maintenance & building.
Trail Nerd Sweat Shirts and clothing available for purchase. First 3 overall males and females
get a free Trail Nerds shirt - your choice of types. There will also be a random drawing for some Mizuno goodies.
There will also be free Mizuno socks to many runners, and we'll give away some Dirty Girl Gaiters, too.
Proceeds to ERTA for trail building / maintenance.
Registration is on the day of the event ONLY and opens at 7:30 a.m. (at the race, shelter
# 10 ).
Please check-out the Veterans Memorial at the main gate of the park.

Vet's Day Run Haiku's and Limericks:
Chilly, Breezy Morn
Crunchy leaves hide rocks, roots, mud
Oh-Eight
Vets Day Run
(by Bryan Hay)
It was the vet race of o-eight
In the chill we tempted our fate
We
ran in the cold
Breaking the mold
To all the volenteers I think that you're great!!!!!
(by Nick Lang)
They trod the trails for Vets Day
Though skies were cold and so gray
But
rocks, roots and miles
produced nothing but smiles
As a Vet, I was honored, I'll say!

A man ran WyCo in a trance,
The hills stepped on him like ants,
But
it didn't matter,
He lost control of his bladder,
And on the finish line he Uta Pippiged his tight pants.
