The Run Toto Run 50K "Mud Stud" Challenge

In the past five "Psycho Wyco Run Toto Run" 50K events, there have only been nine sub-5-hour finishers, despite there having been over 435 (50K) entrants.  And there has been only one sub-6-hour female finisher in the history of the race.  We need more Hall of Fame finishers!  After all, this is Kansas...how tough could it be???

So...in a (perhaps misguided) attempt to attract racing talent of truly "epic proportions," we will offer the following challenge:

  • $250 check and free entry for 5 years for the first female entrant to break the 5-hour barrier, (in addition to normal first-place prizes).
  • $300 check and free entry for 5 years for the first entrant to break 4 hours on this course, (in addition to normal first-place prizes).
  • $75 check and one free entry for any male entrant to break 5 hours on this course, (in addition to normal finisher-place prizes).
  • $75 check and one free entry for any female entrant to break 6 hours on this course, (in addition to normal finisher-place prizes).
