More details (like a new website!) coming soon, but the format will very similar to years past: you will start trail running (approx 1.25 miles) hop on your bike for 18 miles of sweet single track, paddle down the Kansas River for 2 miles to Mud Creek, and run roughly 4 miles back to the finish on trails. The race will be open to soloists and teams of 2.
