Outlaw Trail Series
Complete all 6 trail runs in the Outlaw Trail Series (Outlaw, Lake McMurtry, Liberty’s Lost Treasure, Flower Moon, Dark and Dirty, and Thunderbird) in a calendar year and receive a cool plaque to recognize your achievement. Distance is not a factor (in other words, you can run the 5K or the 135mile). Virtual options do exist that allow runners to complete the series even if they are unable to attend an event in person. An Oklahoma-shaped plaque with hooks looks great as a display for awesome medals.

100K, 50K- 7am

Crew Access/Drop Bags/Pacers
Crew access will not be permitted at the Forrest Hills Aid Station. All crew support must take place at the Start/Finish area, which offers ample space for setting up personal aid stations.
Runners may use drop bags at both the Start/Finish line and the Forrest Hills Aid Station. Please bring your drop bags with you to packet pickup. A volunteer will deliver bags designated for Forrest Hills, so make sure each one is clearly labeled with your name, bib number, location, and race distance.
Pacers are allowed for 100k runners beginning at the 50k mark. A pacer bib must be purchased for $5 during packet pickup. You may have multiple pacers throughout the race, but only one pacer can run with you at a time. If you plan to rotate pacers, they must switch out at the Start/Finish area by handing off the pacer bib from one to the next.
Cutoff
The cutoff for all distances is 18 hours.
