KUS 6/12/24 Hour Run

KUS 6/12/24 Hour Run is a timed trail event in Valley Center, Kansas, running across November 15–16, 2026. The 24-hour starts at 6:00 AM and the 6-hour at 7:00 AM on the first day, and the 12-hour gets going at 6:00 AM the next morning. In every format you loop the same course, and the distance you have banked when time expires is your result — the clock, not a finish line, decides when you stop.

Fixed-time races are among the friendliest entries into ultrarunning: no intermediate cutoff to fear, aid never far away, and the freedom to pause and restart as your stomach or your legs demand. Six hours suits a first attempt past the marathon distance. Twenty-four hours is a different animal and asks for a nighttime plan, a drop bag or crew, and roughly 16 weeks of training including back-to-back long runs.
