Ultrapalooza 2025 returns on September 27–28, bringing runners to the scenic Flint Hills Trail rail‑trail in Osawatomie, Kansas, for one of the Midwest’s flattest and fastest ultrarunning events. The weekend lineup includes distances from 5 km through 100 miles, with out‑and‑back courses across crushed‑gravel trail winding through tallgrass prairies, river banks, and riparian woodlands — all part of the historic Santa Fe National Historic Trail. Aid stations are placed every 4–5 miles, each stocked with water, electrolyte drink, snacks, and gels; the start/finish zone buzzes with festivity, featuring live music, food trucks, a swag bag, and unique awards. With cutoff times ranging up to 30 hours for 100‑mile and 100 km races (12 hours for marathon/50 km, and 6 hours for the half marathon), strong volunteer support, and a welcoming atmosphere, this Kansas Super Slam Series event delivers a top-tier ultra experience.
