About the race
Heat Wave 3/6/12/24/36 is a track-based ultrarunning event held June 11–13, 2027 at Rose Hill District Stadium, 323 E. School St., Rose Hill, KS. The event is organized by the Kansas Ultrarunners' Society and runs on a USATF-certified 400 meter track (Course Certification ID KS25008TJD). Chip timing will count laps and display cumulative distance at the start/finish area.
Available timed events:
- 3 hour
- 6 hour
- 12 hour
- 24 hour
- 36 hour
The course reverses direction every three hours. A primary aid station at the covered concessions area provides ice, water, select supplements, fruit, light snacks, ramen and mashed potatoes on request. This is a cup-less event; participants must bring their own drinking vessel. Racers may store supplies under the stadium entryway cover on a first-come, first-served basis, and there are designated areas for crew setups and vehicle camping in the north parking lot.
Pacers are not allowed. Track etiquette rules describe lane use for running, passing, and walking, and prohibit littering. Mini-competitions for short distances are held during the event as timed challenges. All finishers receive a medal; additional buckles and awards are given for specific distance milestones and top finishers. There is no on-site medical staff; seeking medical attention is the responsibility of participants and their crew. Nighttime noise must be kept low due to nearby residences.
