Carry Your Cross
Carry Your Cross is an outdoor endurance event held at Kanopolis Lake State Park. Participants carry a 50+ lb cross over miles of rugged terrain and compete for timed finishes and placement awards.
The event includes multiple distance options:
- 5K CYC (The First Test)
- 10K CYC (billed as "The World's Toughest 10K")
- 20K CYC (The Ultimate Test)
- 5K Trail run
- 10K Trail run
The race structure places the Carry Your Cross field first, followed by the 5K and 10K trail runs. The event proceeds rain or shine and notes windy conditions are common in Kansas. It is open to men and women, and there is a 5K and 10K option for children aged 8 and older to run alongside a cross carrier.
Spectators have viewing opportunities along the course. Post-race activities include music, games, awards, and a free-will-donation BBQ and fellowship. Prizes and event swag are awarded to top finishers. Registration opens December 1, 2026, and the Carry Your Cross event date is March 20, 2027.
