A League of Its Own

This self-supported, overnight journey through the Flint Hills presents an unparalleled challenge to your body, mind and spirit. If your penchant for pain is matched only by your sense of adventure, you’ll be in good company.

Over the course of ~350 miles, you’ll challenge yourself, inspire yourself, you may even downright hate yourself at times, but you’re here for a reason, and your potential knows no bounds.

Each and every person on this start line has a reason. What’s yours?
