The Prairie Spirit Trail ultramarathon is a premier 'rails-to-trails' event in eastern Kansas that challenges runners with a fast, flat, and scenic out-and-back course between Ottawa and Iola. Favored by both first-timers and elite athletes for its 100-mile, 100K, 50-mile, and 50K distances, the race offers a rhythmic journey through tranquil rural landscapes and charming historic town centers.
