The City of Osawatomie is gearing up for a first ever event. The Mile Zero Flint Hills Trail Race is set for tomorrow morning at the Mile Zero Trailhead on the Flint Hills Trail in Osawatomie. The race will feature a 50K race, a 20 mile race, a 10 mile race and a fun run. It’s the first event organized by Midwest Endurance Race Company, which was founded recently by local residents, Jennie Terflinger and Samantha Green. Terflinger says the event will bring a lot of people into Miami County, as there are already 150 runners registered from as far away as South Dakota and New York and there are about 50 volunteers.
The course is entirely flat, fast crushed gravel trail, with manned aid stations every five miles.
