That's 7,500 ft of total climb. The prairies are flat. This course is #anythingbutflat. Beaver Flat 50 is a tough get-your-feet-wet, wreck-your-shins and roll-your-ankle kind of run. You're going to love it, hate it and love it some more. Guaranteed.
Gun goes at 8:00am
Barlow - Aid station 1 - 11km, no cut-off time. Enjoy the views of the wide open prairie fields. Also enjoy how you're probably not even tired yet! Windsor Knot - Aid station 2 - 16km, 11:30am cut-off time. This aid station is at the bottom of the interpretative trails at the fork. Wheatman - Aid station 3 - 23km, 1:00pm cut-off time. Make sure you catch your breath at this one because a few ugly climbs are right around the corner. Goodwin House - Aid station 4 - 33km, drop bag, 3:30pm cut-off time. This is where you can pick up your drop bag. Your feet will get wet a few kilometers before this aid station, so you might want to think about stashing a pair of dry shoes and socks in your drop bag. This aid station is located in the Goodwin House parking lot. This is also the last logical place to drop from the race. Knock Knock Joke - Aid station 5 - 43km, 5:30pm cut-off time. Sooooo close... but sooooo far away. Finish: 6:30pm. You have a total of 10.5 hours to finish and receive your finishers badge.
