KROP: Kaizen Rite of Passage

Description:

KROP: Kaizen Rite of Passage – Year 2: DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK!

Guess who’s back!? KROP returns to Tahlequah, Oklahoma at the rugged and scenic Welling Ridge Trails for its second year!

Runners can choose from 4, 8, 16 (25k), 32 (50k) miles, or the brand-new 40 mile (65k) distance. All races follow the same 4-mile loop, bringing you back through the start/finish area every lap—where the energy, food, and support never stop.

And because this is KROP, you can expect surprises along the way:

The Extra Magic Mile: At a random time during the day, a bonus mile will appear! It won’t count toward your mileage, but you’ll find plenty of fun (and maybe a few wild sights) along the way. And yeah…if you’re curious it will be a DIFFERENT extra magic from year 1 and it will absolutely be a solid extra mile.
The Kaizen ROCK of Passage: A massive stone that appears at random. If you’re bold enough to carry it all the way to the finish, you’ll earn a special prize. Year 1 there was only one stone. Year 2 we guarantee at least THREE stones that will all be hidden on the course and available for the challenge. This challenge is NOT easy and is for entrants 18 years of age or over only. Let us be clear, we are asking you to potentially carry a 60lbs rock with you on single track, technical, root twisted trails. It’s as brutal as it sounds.
