BACK IT UP

A series of 5k, 10k and 15k trail races brings cross country trail racing to the lake on a challenging and scenic course (most challenging in the state of
KS?--overheard a few times) that winds through most of the 100 acres at Acorns Resort (includes hills, creeks, ravines, forests, rocks and switchbacks).

All races start at 10am.
Race Dates: Apr 10th, May 22nd, Sep 18th and October 30th. September race is the big one, racers pick your favorite local non-profit organization (local United
Way non-profits), gather donations if you want, race for your projected time and really back it up. See pledge form for 9/18 trail race.

Registration is $10
Or register on race day at 9-9:30am at Acorns Resort.

The "Liminal Trail" is a perfect 5k distance, so 10k racers will get to see all the rugged Kansas beauty twice in one day. The trail was created with
the focus of a protected course that would showcase Flint Hills scenery and, at the same time, give racers a surprising new perspective of the
region and themselves--hence the trail name.

Liminal means threshold . . . "a place where boundaries dissolve a little and we stand there, on the threshold, getting ourselves ready to move
across the limits of what we were and what we are now to be". . .a period of transition where normal limits to thought, self-understanding, and
behavior are relaxed - a situation which can lead to new perspectives.

This trail race will not produce times equivalent to 5k/10k road races. Expect to add to your best time about 6 min
for the 5k and 13 min for the 10k. This course is a complete work out (mental and physical).
Energy wise, you should feel like you've ran 4 miles instead of three and 8 miles instead of 6.

ace Results

It's not all about the time, but the time definitely matters.

Highs and lows on Liminal Trail . . . the beauty of the

scenery, the challenge of the course, the race

against/with other runners and yourself. So all results will

be updated in this format, to show part of the "big picture".

What these results don't show however, is the rest of the

picture . . . most everyone who finishes one of these

races has pushed themselves further than they've been

pushed before on a course in central Kansas and they all

are winners--because they come through the finish with

redefined limits and all smiles !
