2012 was a hallmark year for The Lunar Trek  Night Run as we had our first two female 100K finishers!  On the night, we had 85 total participants.  It was a beautiful evening which allowed for only 7 DNF's for all the races.  There were 2 participants in the 10K Relay, 24 in the 10K, 25 in the 11-Mile, 11 in the 22-Mile, 9 in the 50K, 6 in the 40-Mile, and 8 in the 100K.  Congratulations to all the runners for their efforts!  Great job!

For Lunar Trek 2010 July 23, we hosted about 65 runners. Each year the number gets a llittle bigger.  Hopefully, we are doing a few things right.

Kansas Ultra Runners selected the Lunar Trek as their sponsored run for 2011. We would like so say thanks for the honor.

Many Photos and results are posted. 

If you took photos at the 2010 run, please attach them to an email and send them to Jneal@pikevalley.com  so we can display them. I know there are many runners who took pictures before and after the run. - Thanks

Gary Henry ran the 100K. . Gary graciously allowed us to display his photos from 2008 and 2010.  Thanks Gary.

100K cut-off times changed for 2011. See the rules section.

We had two runners in the 13 and under category this year - a father son team and a grand daughter and grand father team.  We also had a young lady complete her first ultra. She had never done even a marathon and at LTNR she completed the 40 mile run. We had many couples running this year and once again we had a girls XC team compete in the 10K - way to go girls.

--------------------------------

The Lunar Trek is on secondary gravel roads except for 3 miles of dirt and how likely is it to rain in the middle of July in Kansas. The course consists of some rolling hills, some decent ups and downs and a flat section along the Republican River. It will be an out-and-back with turnaround points for a 10K, 11-mile, 22-mile, 50K (31-miles), 40-mile, and 100K(62Miles)TREK!!

There will be staffed aid stations every five miles. They will have ice, water, sports dKinks, soda, and an assortment of food commonly found at aid stations. Drop bags for the 3 longer runs can be left at registration so they can be properly dispersed. Drop bags need to be clearly marked as to what aid stations they will go to, and to whom they belong.

Proceeds will benefit the Pike Valley Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams.

Remember - One Hill At A Time Run in November near Concordia, Kansas.

Great variety of hills on country gravel roads NE of Concordia Kansas.  A very pretty run close to the new wind powered generators.

 One Hill will have 10K, 15K, 25K and 50K.

The Race Beneficiary

All proceeds from the run will go to the Pike Valley Cross Country Team. Read more about them by selecting the menu item to the left. In 2009 the Lunar Trek was able to provide a gift of new Cross Country uniforms.  In years since the team has received spike bags, sweatsuits, and provide drinks at all meets. The Cross Country Team and the Lunar Trek Race Directors appreciate all the runners who come to Scandia each year to enjoy the Night Run - Thanks
