Found this race by accident online -- thought it was an april fools joke at first -- no registration fee, no t-shirt(I have a bunch, dont need more), no medal, no time limit. lots of food. date of race April 1, 2017 --
talked to a couple of buddies that have done the race in the past and it is a real race so I signed up --- turns out this is a quality run. Put on by Dan Little in Madill, Ok at his 2500 acre ranch. If you want to try a trail run this is a good one to start with. not technically challenaging as far as trail runs go but you still get the feel for trails -- run on farm and field roads -- no really steep hills -- a few gulleys and ditches to cross -- as all trail runs would be -- if the weather is bad the trail would be very muddy and slick --
1. pre race -- small town -- few places to stay -- very nice best western hotel -- very few resturants -- braums and local places - very good though --- no race expo -- packet pickup on race day
2. race day -- good parking -- easy to find the race area --
3. starting line --- marked on the grass -- instructions by loud speaker -- very relaxed --- about 200 runners total in all
4. course -- trail run on dirt roads -- no really steep hills -- I would call this a basically flat course -- there are some up and down hills but nothing severe -- some gulleys and ditches as with any trail -- if there is rain it will by very muddy -- good aid stations but not many take water with you
5. finish -- no time limit -- at the finish you take your tag and write your time on it and put in a jar. they have an offical clock at the finish for the time -- Great food and alot of it at the finish
great run if you want to try a trail run -- I rec this run
